I am currently a junior in college and I am in a Princeton review MCAT class that will end in approximately 10 days. I was going to take my MCAT May 17th, but just pushed it back to June 21st. The original date was too close to finals and I didn't feel ready, and because I'm taking a year off pushing it back seemed like a good idea. But now, I'll be done with my content review in about a week and then I will have about 1.5 months until my test date. Anyone have a schedule of study to recommend or have any ideas about how I can get the best score possible?

I have been mainly using the Princeton review books and I have access to their online materials. My weakest subject is the physical sciences in case anyone has specific advice for that. Thank you. A

I'd shoot for taking at least 1 full length AAMC exam a week, preferrably 8-11. Maybe 2 in the second week, your call, but don't burn yourself out in the last 5-7 days before the test. The first 3 weeks, aside from the FLs, should be dedicated to practice problems following an equal distribution between PS, VR and BS passages. I beleieve it's crucial to get passage practice in as being able to comprehend information out of a passage is paramount to success on the MCAT in its current format. If your Physical is weak from a conceptual/content review standpoint, doing additional problems independent of passages will be a great way to fill that void. During your entire practice process, take ample time to review all problems that you've done, right and wrong. It will give you a feel for the way the MCAT will ask questions and the answers that each style of question calls for.

Best of luck
