Hey Guys,

I am planning on studying for the mcats which I will most likely take in May or June. I plan to start studying for the MCATS the first week for January. I am going to be working at a lab in the morning though, but I will plan on studying from 5PM till 11AM. I plan on studying from the Princeton Review class room Course books. I hope to finish those books in about 2 months then move on to doing practice problems from ek 10001 books and practice passages from TBR. The last month I plan on taking as many full length practice exams such as kaplan and the AAMC. If I consistently get a 35 on these practice exams I will feel confident to take the exam in May. What do you guys think? What do you recommend?

Piece of advice. No one is replying because you can find the answer yourself. There is a 30+ thread, SN2 has a good schedule, people ask similar questions in threads every week, etc.

People are less apt to help if you haven't helped yourself. People who do get responses usually type, "I've done a bunch of searches and read through a ton of threads..." Then write a detailed plan showing they have done their homework and care enough to put more than 30 seconds into the post. Then lots of people reply...

there are a lot of study plans available here. whichever way works best for you is really a personal choice. but here are some tips that i believe apply universally to all mcat students:

1. practice early with full length exams.
2. learn from your mistakes - spend a considerable amount of time figuring out why you got an answer wrong and perhaps another way to arrive at the same answer.
3. don't get lost in minutia. the mcat covers a lot of material but very broadly with not very much depth.
4. don't place too much stock in practice exam scores. they hold very little predictive power.
5. be flexible with your study schedule. if you find that your plan isn't working, don't abandon it: revise and be open to new ways in studying.
