How much time is considered spending too much time on content review?

 

[Detective SnowBucket]

Im finishing up my MCAt studying for cinco de mayo MCAT and I'd actually answer this the other way around. It doesn't matter how much (as in you can't have too much) content review you have; I'd say lil over 2 months is good for most people. Now, the thing is, what you don't want is too little exam practice. I took the whole semester (Jan 9 - May 5) to review and you need a good couple months of just MCAT practice, as in taking practice FL's, doing section banks and QPacks, so just divide your time to make sure you get ~2 months MCAT experience in addition to however much content review you can handle, 2 months being average/minimum.

A lot of people do practice passages along with content review.
I'm doing Princeton review hyperlearning passages and will be done with:
gen chemistry hyperlearning passages
ochem hyper learning passages
physics hyper learning passages
NS 1 C/P section + cars section
NS 2 C/P section + cars section
NS 3 C/P section + cars section

by the end of this month. + I have been doing cars 5 passages a day.

my weakness is c/p section and cars section so been targeting that very heavy with light review of bio and psych (was psych major). I have been studying for 1-1.5 month so far and my exam is on June 16 as of right now (could change date to June 29/30 depending on my first fl score (NS #4 fl next month)

I start real full lengths next month. Goal is to take around 7-8 full lengths (including AAMC) + section bank


I think the best thing you can do for yourself is know your strengths and weaknesses. and always do some practice while doing content review or else you won't be retaining a lot of the information. In general ~2 months of content review is a good amount

How long will you be doing FLs? Do you use NS qbank, did u find it useful?

I will be doing full lengths for 1.5 months. content review will be 2 months when this month is over (however been doing practice passages like stated above)

ideally, I wanted 2 months for content and 2 months for full lengths so thats why I might push my date to June 30 from June 16. but it all depends on the scores I will be getting on the full lengths
