There should be a category for less than 5 hours. If there were, I'd be in that category. 😳

Probably 2-3 hours. 😛


No, seriously. Kaplan course + 5.5 full-lengths + 6-10 hours a week from June until 8/14/04 + hundreds and hundreds of hours studying for all the classes leading up to it.

Def more than 200 and probably pretty close to 250 if not more. Sad, sad, summer that was but at least I only had to do it once 🙂

God, I don't even remember. It's like when your brain forces you to forget traumatic experiences, in a way, protecting you. That is a pretty pathetic period of my life that I don't want to look back on.

Always look forward.

Yeah, I guess technically I should include the hours I spent studying for the classes that had MCAT material. But who really cares anyway.

Its really hard to remember. Now that its over, I never want to think about it again. That test was a pain in the a$$ and the wait for results was even worse.

agreed.
but the worst for me is knowing my score is good enough so that i don't have to take it again but also knowing that it's not good enough to get me into the schools i want to go to.

I quit my job in March and spent 6 weeks studying like it was my full time job. I didn't put in 40 hours a week. But it was probably around 30. Totally worth it. Except by the time I got a new job in August, I was BROKE.

No regrets though.

I agree.

My answer, Too many but not enough

I know! I wish I had bombed. I would have been freaked into studying my ass off from april to august and actually have a good score now.
I took off work and studied for 2 weeks straight (not enough!). I also took part of a kaplan course the summer before but it was totally useless. Best thing to do is ditch all the commercial prep BS and crack out the textbooks. Learned this lesson too late.

agreed.
