I'll be done with my prereqs by spring 2012 and was wondering on how I should go about studying for the MCAT. Although S2ned's method seems pretty awesome, I feel it's going to be very time consuming. A bunch of my friends suggested I take the TPR hyperlearning course first during the summer of 2012 and take S2ned's approach the following year. Is it really time consuming if I do both at once? Or should I absorb the material from TPR and then approach the self study? sooo confused, any advice?

Doing TPR a year before doing SN2 is stupid. You are likely to forget most of the stuff you learn and nobody wants to study for a whole year for the MCATs.

SN2 and TPR at the same time is also stupid. More is not always better. You will likely burn out if you try it and its pretty much impossible to do both at the same time and retain everything.

If you want to do TPR course do that. If courses aren't your thing, do the SN2 self-study schedule. The material/schedule is a very small factor compared to how much work you are willing to put in.

Are you trying to take the MCAT twice or are you just studying in two cycles? Will you be a junior or a sophomore at the time you finish your prereqs?

I'm taking a course while doing a variation on SN2ed's method. However, because I compressed SN2ed's method into a shorter time, I was done with content review quite quickly. Since most of the work involved in the course is keeping up with content, I had no problems doing both. I would prepare by only doing the required quizzes before my class, participate in my class (even though technically I hadn't read the notes immediately before), and then do the required quizzes after the class was over.

The rest of my day was devoted to my regular SN2ed schedule.
