AAMC Material and Examkracker material only enough?

I have access to all the AAMC material, qbanks, and FLs along with the Examkrackers 9th edition bundle. Does anyone have a 3-4 month study schedule that utilizes only these two sources with possibly other free sources (ie khanacademy) or one that they can link me to? I've seen a lot of schedules but none with any using just exclusively these and don't want to purchase anymore if not necessary.
Thanks in advance!

Study chapter 1 of each subject on week 1, review and take the quizzes for each subject on chapter 1 on week 2, then also study chapter two of each subject on week 2. Proceed until all chapters are complete, total about 7 weeks. 5 weeks remain until the exam. Use these to take 1-2 FLs per week and study your weak points hard with Khan, etc. I was fortunate enough to have Kaplan books available to help hit weak points, but the material was 99% redundant with EK. Do what I said very rigorously and you will do fine.

There's no formula to help you learn the material. In fact, not stressing over a cookie cutter study schedule will help accommodate your learning style.

I was looking for something a little more laid out using those materials and when to incorporate them but I guess there is no perfect plan since everyone is different. I just always see all these perfectly designed schedules and tend to overthink it.

Yeah, I get that. The challenge with having a more laid back schedule is primarily identifying your weak spots. For me, I decided the best way to do that was to review literally everything, take a couple of FL's, and go from there. This may not have been the most efficient method, but it got the job done for exam day. If you can think of a better way to identify the content you need to cover, by all means go for it. Regardless of how you approach it, the most important advice I can give is have a thought out plan and stick to it. Unfortunately, I left SDN entirely after the MCAT until after applying, so I am unaware of any prefabricated schedules for you.

Agreed, thanks!
