I had a really quick question. Is it better to start studying subject by subject (so finish Biology then move on to chemistry, etc) or study Biology for 1-2 days, then switch it up every 1-2 days?

I generally recommend switching it up. The reason being is that people usually get really sick and burnt out of studying one subject for a really long time. I generally say do a few chapters at a time (maybe 2-3) and then switch it up. I would go even further than per day; I would do multiple subjects in one day (1 day I would do 2 chapters bio and then 2 chapters chem etc.).

This is usually what I recommend (mcat prep courses also teach like this). But it of course varies by person.

Super sound advice here. Rotate rotate rotate. This also promotes connections between disparate subjects, which will help. I can guarantee you'll find a bio-based question in the C/P section and vice-versa. It's the nature of the test, so rotating subjects + Hat Trick develops the lateral thinking required of you.
