study question for Kaplan folks

[talkalot24]

I know everyone will be different, but just wondering how long you guys spent on content review for each unit (units 1-3), and further broken down, how long you spent studying each subject within each unit.

Did you allot yourself 2 days for each subject in a unit? Did you allot a week or two for each unit, etc?

Thanks.

I think your answer would be better responded to in the general MCAT discussions forum. However, I will add my 0.02.

Generally, I basically tried to study everything before the classes officially began. That way, I can ask questions during the review sessions that mattered to me instead of wasting time going through content/material that was overly basic and not what I generally had trouble with. This was also helpful because of the mini-tests at the end of the review sessions.

So, if I was backed up and couldn't follow through, I at least tried to go over the material a little bit before the class.

Well I'm not in the Kaplan class, just using the Kaplan materials.

I know it will be different for everyone, but just trying to see what pace others moved at when reviewing content in Kaplan's books.

really depends on your understanding of the material before you start.

i sucked at g.chem but was pretty good in orgo, bio, and phys.

so i spent a good deal of time on gchem, and not nearly the same amount on the other sciences.
