Do you want to achieve at least around a 27 on the MCAT if your native language is English? The famous 12 week MCAT plan is below as has been attested by current medical students.

You will need: The Princeton Review Science Workbook (may need to get from ebay), All ExamKracker books, The Princeton Review General MCAT review book (can buy from Amazon, usally 700-900 pages), Official AAMC Practice Tests and Practice Problems/Passages.

Weeks 1-3: Tear out the 16 high yield sheets at the back of the Princeton Review General MCAT review book and memorize all of them. Review any weak concepts in this review book to the point of memorization.

Weeks 4-9: Complete all problems with understanding of explanations in the Princeton Review Science Workbook, all of the ExamKracker books, and the Official AAMC Practice Problem Sets/Passages.

Weeks 10-12: Complete all official AAMC practice tests at the time of day you will take the actual MCAT. Complete the tests every other day, with the days in between used to review the high yield 16 sheets or problems you already completed.

You want to study at least 50-60 hours a week with 1/2 a day to 1 day off per week. Take the day before the MCAT off, and get plenty of sleep and nutrition.

Good luck!
