I will be taking the August 05 MCAT, isn't it a good idea to get a head start by studying for it from now ??

Maybe do some very light studying using the Exam Kracker books like 2 hours a week starting now, but no more.

Ask anyone who has done well and I suspect they will agree. If you want to actually do well it would be in your best interest to start leaning concepts, etc. now, and not try to "retain" them simply for the exam itself.

Start early. Don't wait til it's too late. Take a week off or two after finals. Then start late May or Very early june. Then religiously pommel the MCAT for two or so months til that dreadful day. I guess it won't be too dreadful if you have prepared wellCherebourg said:That's ridiculous. You won't retain a thing. Start studying in June and study hard for 2 months.
