Hey guys!
There was a similar thread made just around the same time last year, for people writing the MCAT in July-September and who are following the SN2ed family (a huge thank you to SN2ed for the schedule, I couldn't thank him enough!) I found the thread great for encouragement and motivation and basically an awesome place to share study tips, ask questions, discuss and even rant haha.
I was supposed to write last summer but did not because something came up - I am now writing on August 27 and on day 5 of the schedule. But if I could name a couple of things that I wish I had done differently (and now am, fingers crossed), they would be:
1) do NOT underestimate the schedule - it is a genius study plan, but a very intense one as well!
2) give yourself many buffer days and do not count on doubling days to catch up, as it will be very hard to do so
3) do NOT cut out break days!!! with such an intense study plan, these days are vital
4) if possible, do not follow SN2ed with a full time job or school (SN2ed actually makes a point of this as well)
5) if you do not have a strong science background (like me somewhat), do expect to put in more hours of work and don't be discouraged by this
4) this schedule is AMAZING! if followed through well, you will do well, so be thankful to have such a solid study plan, which I think will in turn psych you into being motivated and doing well hopefully !!
Goodluck to everyone and discuss away!!...
