no, i don't want to be worried and stressing out the last minute for this test like people on here have, I need books to read while i have a day off from school, i want to get a taste.

Any studying you do now will be wasted time, because you won't retain the information well enough to matter. Start studying for the MCAT months before the test, not years. If you really want to get a taste of what the material is like, mess around on Khan Academy for a while.

Also, it doesn't matter if you've been studying since you were literally 4 years old, you'll be stressed out and worried before you take the test no matter what.

Let me explain it this way, there's no point studying for biochem when you haven't taken general bio. There's no point studying for ochem without having taking gen chem. You'll forget the stuff anyways by the time you get to the point where you're taking the MCAT. If you really want to read things that could help you out check out the posts by people talking about reading articles about economics/history/philosophy and what not. CARS is probably the only section worth doing anything for at this point.

Hopefully you become more polite by the time you take the exam

Hopefully you add like 1000 magnitudes of chill before the exam too.

I don't know if you're a troll or what your deal is, but fretting about the MCAT this far out is ludicrous. Focus on your classes and learning the most out of them, by doing that you'll be preparing simultaneously for the MCAT while raising your GPA. One step at a time bro.

Calm down. You got plenty of time before worrying about the MCAT. Focus on enjoying college, building up your ECs, and keeping a strong GPA (3.8+). You can begin preparing for the MCAT about 1 yr to 6 months prior and still do very well.

Actually while you are at it, its good to start preparing for the Step 1 exam as well.

look I'm really excited about going to med school, i find joy in reading anything that has to do about the human mind and body, keeping my grades up is not that hard its call studying, in my spare time i want to read certain books to help me understand how the mcat is going to be like!!!!! no question on here should be seen as a troll or ridiculous, "Asking about doing his internal medicine residency as an undergrad" yes because i want to know all the options that are there and what i can and cant do, i don't remember being born with a guide book with all the answers to the questions i am going to have in my life, is there a problem with that sir?

thanks, i didn't understand the last part thought, you know i just felt like i needed to train studying for it, to get feel of what would be on it because ive seen people on here really worrying about it and i just wanted to get a little experience with it because im still going to be in school before i start studying for it a year early or 6 months early, i just don't want to miss anything 🙁

I understand that but you've gotta understand studying this far out is impractical. My point is reading comprehension is probably the only worthwhile thing you can improve on at this point. The MCAT is a reading comprehension test much more so than it is a knowledge based test. That's all the advise I have to give.

 

[wholeheartedly]

the MCAT covers biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, psychology, and sociology. The best way to start to "study" for the MCAT is to really try to nail down the info when you're in your undergrad classes that cover that content. Don't just learn it well enough for course exams and forget it. Once you've covered that content in your classes, then you'll start a more specific and dedicated MCAT review.
