How long should I study for MCAT after the prep course?

[yuki98]

I start Princeton Review classes tomorrow...or rather in a few hours at 9am...

I've heard from a friend who took the Princeton Review course that he allowed himself another 2 weeks to get some studying in before he took the test.

Originally I thought the material would be fresh in my mind & I would just take the test 2 days after the prep course....but now I'm considering rescheduling the test date & paying the fee (or perhaps I won't have a fee to pay if I just cancel it & then sign up for another date since I'm in the Fee Assistance Program?)

What do you guys think?

There is no single answer to your question. Take the test when you feel you are ready. A good measure of your readiness are your practice exam scores. If you are getting your desired score on AAMCs TODAY, don't even need the class..

Hope it helps

I have been deliberating the samething. Personally, I would take the extra 2 weeks to study before the exam just so I don't have anything left to blame after the exam.

Thanks for replying!

I think I will just take the Princeton Review & then see how prepared I feel closer to test day. If anything, by then I'll just pay a fee to reschedule the test...or cancel it & then sign up for another date.
