I voided my 7/24 MCAT and after a break from studying and a long family vacation I am ready to dive back in with an intended retake date of January ?, 2019. I would appreciate any feedback about my plan:
The resources I have now:
1) Kaplan online course access, expires 9/20.
2) Kaplan 7-book set
3) Really old hand-me-down EK materials
4) Khan Academy
The plan:
1) From now until my Kaplan course access expires (September 20th), focus on those resources (and Khan Academy) mostly to do another round of content review (my highest ever FL score was 500 on Next Step 1; my last AAMC test was a 499 which prompted me to void, and several people have told me I probably have content deficits to fix with scores stuck around 500).
2) From September 20th through Christmas use Berkeley Review materials for practice passages. Use Jack Westin and Khan to practice CARS after Kaplan course expires.
3) Start taking full-lengths (BR, EK, Next Step) and review them every weekend one month before my test date.
I work one day a week and withdrew from classes this semester to minimize my outside distractions but I may try to shadow and volunteer a little.
EDIT: Forgot to add that I am going to use the AAMC official guide as a starting point, so for example, look over what is covered in section 1A, then go to all the resources I have that cover that section in Kaplan, Khan, Google, etc...
