I'm thinking of studying for the MCAT now

[CluelessAsian]

Well, I don't have to take the MCAT until in about a couple of years but I'm thinking of studying now.

When I thought of it, studying can't really hurt. I don't have to really focus like I have to take the MCAT now and I can take my time. I can read maybe a couple of pages or so a day. Then when I really have to take the MCAT, I can study then.

I don't understand why people keep telling me to put it off. Can anybody enlighten me? What are the advantages and disadvantages? I appreciate any input.


Advantage:
1. Can take my time and not to really focus.
2. Second time is always easier. So let's say I finished studying and the next time I really need study for the MCAT, I believe it will be easier because I already have an idea of what's going on.


Disadvantages:
1. Might get bored.
2. Won't remember most of the things learned.


This is what I think. What do you guys think?

It's pointless to study that far in advance. Focus your time on building other areas of your application and learning the material in your classes. There have also been other threads about studying too soon. Try running a search and see if it brings up anything useful. Lastly, enjoy your college life.
