Today I devised an MCAT study schedule which incorporates both TPR and EK. What do you guys think of it? Do you think this will properly prepare me the test.

**And for those who are going to ask why only five weeks, more time is better:

I do agree, more time would be better, but I only 5 weeks until the date of my exam and I want to get my application in and complete by august.

My study schedule is attached below (word document).

**Some info about the schedule:

AMP =10 online questions OL-TPR-PP = online practice passages

PMR = Review questions OL-REV-PP = online passages

SWB = passages OL-TPR-QP = Practice Questions
ICC = 3 passages OL-REV-QP = MCAT questions

In total, with all the passages and study questions, I would be spending 8-10 hours daily studying.

I spent 4 weeks studying for the MCAT, 5 days each week, 8+ hours per day. I ended up with a 29, not what I was hoping for (could I have done better, yes) but it is possible to score well in that sort of time frame that you're using.

HOWEVER, since I read your other thread I want to say that I don't believe you should be rushing into this MCAT. If you're scoring 25+ on the practice tests (I know you said you've been getting 21-3, right?) 2 weeks out from the exam then you may trek forward knowing that you can score well enough to be interviewed at DO schools. But trust me, if by that point you're not scoring 25+ then you need to reschedule the test and study more. With your last MCAT being a very low score, this is your shot to show the adcom's what you're made of. Don't waste the opportunity.
