Hey all, I thought I would post this thread in this forum since I wasnt getting much traction in the MCAT forum, plus I think you could offer up some better insight given that you are non-trads. I am taking the MCAT next spring and have begun to shape my study schedule since prep books and courses cost $$$ and planning in advance. I want to take both the princeton review course as well as incorporate both content review and passages from the Berkeley Review, which I hear is really good. Since I am gonna be a non-trad I will be working part-time next winter while I am taking Princeton Review course. My plan is to review content in my weakest subjects (mostly physics and maybe gen chem since those were first pre-reqs i took) in the Fall via Berkeley Review. Then, in the winter I will use the passages from berkeley review to supplement the review course. Does this sound like a good idea? Any feedback from current/past mcat studiers/takers would be most appreciative. Thx.
 
I feel that studying anything beyond 4 months for the MCAT is a waste of time because your brain will begin to forget everything, so I think TPRH will be as much as you'll cover.
