The site is truly amazing and informative. I'm very appreciative of all the information and guidance in pursuit of my career goals in medicine. I would like to know if anyone has a MCAT 4 month Princeton Hyperlearning and/or Kaplan study guide. Any assistance would be appreciated and thank you for your time.

I would get The Berkeley Review instead. It seems to be the highest regarded prep on this site, especially by SN2ED (the designer of frequently used study schedule). It also has great passages that will prepare you for the difficulty of those on the MCAT. It was my primary reference and it really helped.

Thanks for the information. Did you use the 3 month SDN schedule or study over a course of months with same material?

I got the Kaplan books and created my own sort of study plan by creating digital notecards and reviewing them regularly, doing practice problems, and taking practice exams every Saturday morning for the last two months or so leading up to my test date. I scored competitively on the MCAT and was happy with how it worked out for me. I've since been accepted and will start this fall, so I at least know it worked for me. Here's the link to where I wrote about the study plan:

Also, here is the link for the free practice test on AAMC's website. It's structured exactly the same as the real MCAT, which is very helpful. I would recommend taking the tests with the timing on, just to truly get a feel for the time restrictions. You can always go back and review each question with solutions provided once you're done.
