Post your MCAT daily study routine!!

[quiksilver87]

I just was wondering what your typical day during an MCAT study period would look like!
Heres mine:

Wake up at 7
Eat sandwich for breakfast and take brewer's yeast + fish oil
Go outside for about 5-10 minutes to take in the sun...
Go to library ~8:30 am
Study untill 3:30 (have snack ~12:30)
Eat again at 4...take B vitamin supplement + fish oil
go to gym from 5:00 - 6:00 pm
Go to Princeton review class 7:00 - 9:30 (MTWTh)
Go home and eat light meal...Shower...
Sleep ~11:00pm
Rinse and repeat
(my diet rules are low sugar... no caffeine!)

I just ordered some rhodiola rosea supplement...Its supposed to give you mental stamina...Has anyone tried it?
I just started on monday and am still getting used to the sleep cycle...Im taking the MCAT on august 14!!

I took my first TPR diag and got a 3V 5PS 8BS ==> 16L Total
How do you suggest I study for my verbal?? Did anyone else suck this bad at verbal?? And yes, my primary language is English!

did i forget to mention that i snort a line of crack right after poppin a ritalin. i find that it really gives u alot of energy. sometimes i even make a peanut butter and crack sandwich for a quick pick me up.

 

[quiksilver87]

Practice Mouse clicking (9 am to 10 am)

Finally to pull up my verbal I complete a couple of Where's Waldo books.

Ha! Love the mouse clicking.

dont let those scores get you down, my verbal was like in the 5-6 range when i first started also. practicing really helped getting my timing down so that i could have more time on main idea questions. also i was able to improve my attention span while reading those passages so that i wouldn't miss as many details. i'm sure you'll improve!

2) consume at least 20g fiber daily

LOL!

Heres mine...

6:00 Wake Up, Shower, Eat, Walk outside for a lil bit
8:00 STUDY (using EK 10 week home study schedule)
12:00 STOP Study
6:00-8:00 Work Out at Gym
9:00 Study: look over next days material
11:00 SLEEP!

btw how are u guys splitting up ur study time for each subject??? and what are you using??? (EK, KAPLAN, TPR)

 

[darzi]

hey btw guys....I'm not using Kaplan so what exam should I take for diagnostic purposes???? I heard CBT 3R is kinda on the easy side...any1 know a good one.

and oh yeah...i'd make sure to keep off the ROH lol...i think 1 night of heavy drinking impairs ur thinking/memory for like a month!

 

[quiksilver87]

darzi...Everyone has their own preference about subject splitting...I finish a subject in about 1 week. When I finish all 4 I start doing practice problems and tests. I am using the TPR books.
YOur study schedule is lookin good! what do you do between noon and 6pm?

Nothing MCAT related! I think anything more than 6hrs a day is overboard! 10-12 hrs...u guys are nutts! It's good to make that tentative but I'm sure that it wont last long...make a reasonable schedule for urselves and actually do it!
