I just bought the EK complete study package. Is the 10 week study schedule that I hear so much about in this set? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

Examkrackers Home Study Schedule
This study regimen mimics the successful Examkrackers MCAT course by starting exactly ten weeks prior to the MCAT and taking a soft week break in the middle.
Preparation: Contact the AAMC (aamc.org) and purchase Practice Tests 5R, 6R & 7. Also, if you dont already have them, get: Examkrackers Complete Study Package, EK tests 1, 2, 3 and Audio Osmosis. The 1001 question/101 passages books are optional.
Start your preparation by taking Practice Test 5R. Take the entire test (including the writing section) under strictly timed conditions. This will give you a baseline idea of where you stand and allow you to chart your progress. Expect to score between 6 and 8 on each section (most students do).
After taking the test, plan on studying (from the EK materials) four lectures a week. Your study structure should budget about 2- 3 hours a day, six days of the week. Attack the lessons thusly:
1. First, pre-read the lecture. Read the lecture as you would a novel, quickly, and without worrying about the details.
2. Next, read the lecture more thoroughly, with a pen in your hand so that you can take notes and highlight areas of weakness.
3. Listen to the corresponding lecture in Audio Osmosis.
4. Start with one lecture in Physics, Verbal, General Chemistry and Biology. When you run out of verbal lectures, begin Organic chemistry.
5. Take the in-class exam corresponding to that lecture. Allow yourself no more than 30 minutes. Review the exam with the explanations, and post any questions you have on our website.
6. Take the rest of the AAMC and EK tests as full-length exams on every other Saturday until the real test. For any questions you answer incorrectly, determine if it was a dumb mistake (work harder) or if you didnt fully understand the science (go back to the appropriate lecture and re-read).
7. As test day approaches, stay current with your studying. If you miss one day, do twice as much the next day.
8. If you find you have extra time, purchase Examkrackers book of mini-MCATs, and work through them as advised in the schedule below.

So I see. You have a nice site.
Quick question though, why is the Kaplan MCAT thing only for 3 weeks or did I miss something?

Thanks!
Brett took the time to type out his schedule for three weeks, the second one is for 6 weeks on the excel sheet. One might spread it out a tad, manipulate it to fit, incorporate other materials and whatnot. It's all typed out and structured, so I think it's quicker than starting new.
...are you doing both?

I am taking the Kaplan classroom course & I have the Exam Krackers material. I am trying to work out the right "blend" for the 2. If you hasve any ideas, I would like to hear them.
I thinki I have more than enuf information. It is now all about synthesizing it to mean something relevant.

Mmmm... I went through the EK material first, moved on to Kaplan, (online), and then went back to EK for the things I still had problems with. You don't have that much time, but I'd definitly use EK for trouble areas. It's quick.
I hated topicals, man. Wow. Do you have to do them in the classroom or are they homework?

Nice! Maybe you'll have time for the topicals then - you know, just for something to do on a Friday night or whatever... is that just me?
