Studying while in school...

I plan on taking my MCAT this upcoming April. My plan is to study two hours Monday-Friday and whenever I can on the weekends. The only problem is how should I study. I have the Princeton Review books. I don't want to spend too much time on them though. I want to focus on practice questions and practice tests. So...read and study flashcards?

I would highly recommend purchasing a set of study guides by Kaplan or PR. With so much info provided over the course of your undergrad, these guides really help you narrow down and focus specifically what is on the MCAT. This way you can maximize your time and effort. Of course take practice exams and figure out your testing strategy and time management too.

Background on my results using the Kaplan guides:
I graduated 8 years before I took the MCAT and have been serving active duty military since graduating. Without having any biology prerequisite courses under my belt I scored 11/10/10... kind of makes me wonder what I would have scored immediately after graduating!
