Hey guys, im going to be a junior in the fall and plan on taking the MCAT late may or early june of next year. I have not taken anatomy but I see in the Examkracker review books that there is a good amount of anatomy in it. Is there any benefit to reading it over this summer to get familar with it or will it just be a waste since I will most likely forget all of it? I plan on doing content review for roughly 3-3.5 months and havent decided how exactly I want to review the content so I definetly dont want to take too much time with the anatomy portion and get behind with the other sections. Anyone have any experiences or recommendations that they can share?
 
Don't do that lol.

Most of anatomy on the MCAT is pretty basic anyway...you pick it up really fast.

Unless you're someone who knows 0 anatomy (like doesn't know what a kidney or liver does), in which case you may want to take an actual anatomy class.

Yep I took A & PI and at my school it was no blow off at all... Our second practical was bones and muscles and had ~1500 terms (insertions/origins/bone markings). To be honest, A&P I didnt help really at all for B/B but for psych Im fairly certain I got 1/2 more questions right cause of the class (olfactory bulbs and such).
