6 hours a day for five months? Seriously? Do you not have a job/school/girlfriend (or boyfriend)?
Typical SDN... People, this is not a normal studier. Don't measure yourself against someone who puts in >900 hours of studying for the MCAT.
Edit: I should probably actually contribute. I am also planning on taking the MCAT in about 5 months (January, just started studying about 2 weeks ago). I used the
StudySchedule SDN site to help me come up with a schedule. It does depend on the person. I'm doing about 2 hr/day on weekdays and 3-4 on weekends, with Tuesdays off. Any other days I miss I'm making up on the weekend as well. This works for me because:
-I read very quickly without skimming, which helps me get through book sections quickly
-I am an advanced student with a doctorate degree in the health care field with a strong emphasis on sciences, and therefore both need minimal time on some subjects (such as reading comprehension and certain specific areas of chem/biological sciences) and know how to study large amounts of material efficiently
-I am a champion at standardized tests and tend to do well on them. For example - got a 32 on the ACT without cracking a single book or spending one second on review. I just get them.
So...YMMV. Don't do so much that you burn out and stop retaining. Evaluate how strong you are in each area and how long it takes you to get through each section in that area, and use that to pick a time frame. You can always ramp up as you get closer if you feel behind. You have a TON of time. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you are locked into whatever schedule you choose now.
