The Skype Sessions is not active at the moment
(5/16/2012). I will not have time this summer to organize the minigroups and other sessions, but if you are interested in restarting the group, let me know and I can help you get started. Be prepared to give 1-2 hours/day to help people get oriented, organize the groups, and to get people involved.
----------------------------------------------

The Structure of the January Groups:

Or, the windows you will see if you join the Skype Group.


  • January Troopers - our main group
    General area for chit-chat and for study questions and answers, only January MCATers see this group
  • MCAT Study Group Updates - bulletin board
    Used by me to announce updates and the general status of the group. Also used by others to announce various ongoing sessions ("We are going over EK 101 Test 5 in five minutes"), and to reply to updates
  • Relaxation Station - chit-chat area
    Used by everyone, both January and Summer members, for general chit-chat. Anything non-MCAT related
  • MCAT Study Group 3 - study area
    Unused so far. Most likely to be used for the minigroup sessions, although we will see how everything develops.

So we were discussing in this thread of maybe starting a Skype chat session once a week, where we can discuss whatever questions or difficulties we had with passages, concepts, etc. No webcam required, in fact I was thinking of just text-chat sessions although video camera sessions can be set up as well if needed. For multiple videos in one session, someone will have to have a Skype+ account (I do not).

For the sake of organization here's a new thread.


Could whoever was interested list preferred days/times (with time zone)? I'll try to set up a weekly schedule.


May 28, this Saturday, at 1pm (EST)


Edit: clarified some stuff above.

Edit2: my skype is sc4s2cg. Feel free to add me, or PM me your skype and Ill add you. Either way is fine.
Edit4: Added info to top
Edit5: There is no official meeting. Just drop in and start askin'. Chat is open 24/7. (Deleted Edit3 about weekly meeting)

Hello,
Not sure if this is still active, but if it is, I would really like to be added to the Skype study group. Could someone please advise me on who to add to my account or whether it is preferred that I give my skype name to someone (and who)?
Thanks!

Hey sc4s2cg

You said that the mini groups were starting in Oct 17th right( cause this is intended for January)? Can it be used by people who are going to take the test a little earlier?
Are there people currently in the group that are asking questions?
My exam is this August

Also can we switch groups if our availability becomes limited during one time?

Thanks much!
 
Hello,

The January Skype Sessions was for this past January, it wasn't as popular as last Summer's and kinda fiddled out towards the end.

I am not planning on organizing a new Skype Sessions, it took a lot of my time that I will need this summer for the MCAT, but if you or anyone is interested I can definitely help you get started! I think I still have some excel sheets/onenote pages that may be of help.
