hey everyone- I'm new to the forum and and I'm sure I have some typical newcomer questions regarding prepation for medical school.
When should I take the MCAT for the first time (i'm currently a soph undergrad.)?
What books and test-prep classes are recommended for preparation for the MCAT?
Also, what duration before the test date should I begin preparing (I know this is kind of ambigous, just give a round-about)?
How many times should I take the MCAT? I heard that 3 times was the most a given individual was "allowed" to sit the test. Is there any truth to this?
On a side note- I've done a bit of browsing and some medical schools require a full year of english courses and some do not. At this point I've only taken one semester of an english course, is it recommended that I take one more to "play it safe?" .... or does it really not matter too much?
Anyways, thanks for your time reading this post and I would appreciate any responses.
P.S. - Sorry if this has been posted before but I'm knew to the forums and couldn't find the aforementioned posts.
Thanks,
A Hopefull Doctor
