Should I wait for my score or start studying? <Sep 10 MCAT>

[Chromatic543]

I took the MCAT on the 10th of September and overall I felt:

C/P: I ran out of time for the first time, and thought it was really tricky. Mostly Biochem heavy (surprise)

CARS: Much more straight forward than usual/expected.

B/B: BRUTAL

P/S: I brutally memorized terms in my last three days, and almost all of them were there!


Anyway, I am still waiting for my score (12 October), but I just started school as well. I don't know if I need to do a retake or not, but if I do, I want to do it in January. With this in mind, should I start just practicing again for the MCAT and take a FL every other week, or should I just wait for my score first?

By all means wait! Right after the MCAT your emotions are raw and it's often hard to evaluate how you did. Waiting to see your score will afford you time to refuel. The January MCATS are over 120 days away, so you have plenty of time to prepare in the event you need to repeat.

Sounds good! I took the TRB course in Berkeley!
