7 weeks left: Planning Help!

Hi,

I started with great intentions about studying in mid May, but couldn't stick to my schedule. Nevertheless, I have 7 weeks left now and have only read through BR physics books and done only chap 1 passages. I have yet to read gen chem, orgo and biology books. Due to a major shortage of time and practically no passage practice, I am thinking I will read through BR gen chem books while taking notes within a week and then quickly read EK bio and orgo books. After that I will try to do phase 1 and phase 2 passages for all the BR book chapters. I am hoping that with about 4 weeks left, I can start on AAMC exams. While reviewing AAMC exams, I would do EK 1001 in weak areas.

Does this sound okay? Do you guys have any input? Goal is 30+.

Thanks!

It's going to be tough doing a subject a week. SN2's schedule rotates subjects to minimize burnout(though it still happens at least for me). I would try to get some variety at least. Due to lack of time, you may not want to do 1001s. I couldn't imagine doing a chapter, passages, verbal, 1001, and reviewing everything from the day before every day for 3 weeks straight.

Also keep in mind there are 9 chapters of Gen Chem, 8 chapters of O-Chem, and 9 lectures in EK Bio.

I am not trying to discourage you at all, but do try to change it up a bit so you don't become very burnt out. I would definitely shoot for getting it all done in the next 3 weeks so you can have a solid month of AAMCs without having to worry about everything else.

I have 7 days left until AAMCs, so it is definitely doable but I have felt like slacking off many times. I would suggest studying early if possible; don't procrastinate and make studying the last thing in your day because you will get tired, lose motivation, and start off with considerably less energy than if you were studying earlier during the day(you could drink coffee/energy drinks I suppose if you were really a night owl)

Good luck!

There are also 9 passages for each chem chapter(gen chem + o-chem) and depending on the EK Bio lecture, 1-10+ passages per bio lecture(the first lecture has a ridiculous amount, but Chapter 8 only has 1 haha).
