Hello everyone! So here is the situation... I know I am very capable of getting the competitive scores I need on the MCAT but I truly feel caught up in this routine and at a plateau. I am taking the online Kaplan prep but I am having the most difficult time truly following the course outline plus not having anyone to talk about the material with is really hard for me. At one point I had a study partner and just after 3 weeks studying w/ her, my skills and scores grew immensely. Now, she is not available and I must find a solution because this online course is not the best choice for me. I could look for a partner but who knows if I will find the right one in time? PLus I dont want to have to depend on any one person for my success.
I suppose I have done well up to this point: I have maintained a 36hr/week work schedule, received my BS in Radiology, completed prerequisites(3.5 GPA), I'm now married, have a house along with its responsibilties, volunteer every week, but, I have now pre-maturely taken the MCAT twice, scored very very low both times, and now I have a 3-week mediterranean vacation coming up in two weeks(which I planned a yr ago. Im excited but realize now its bad timing) I had planned for the MCAT to be behind me at this point=(
Im running a rat race and wondering if the expensive course will give me what Im looking for. ALso, Is 'checking out' of my responsibilities an okay move? Is there any reason this would be frowned upon and should I be able to excel at the MCAT considering the following schedule:
Monday-committed to husband;
Tues-study am-pm;
Wed.-volunteer as a tutor(~8hrs) then study in pm;
THurs-study am-pm;
Fri-work11am-11pm;
Sat-work11am-11pm;
Sun-work11am-11pm
I need to find a better groove! Is the Intensive Summer course for me?
