Hi everyone,

I was wondering for those people who are taking the summer MCAT this year, when did you (or are you going to) start studying for it? I just decided to take the summer MCAT; I'm a sophomore, so if anybody could give me advice on how to start preparing for it, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I'm taking it in August and I'm a sophomore too. I've been studying as I make time for about 3 weeks, for probably no more than 2 hours a week. I'm still really busy with school and everything, but I'm going to try to step it up a bit from now until May. When I finish classes in mid-May, I'm going to start studying every weekday for atleast an hour, possibly more depending on where I'm working. About 1 month pre-test, I plan to study pretty much non-stop when I'm not at work. I can't afford classes or anything, so I'm teaching myself; I learn best that way anyway.

I don't know how smart my plan is, but anyway, there it is.

btw, check out the MCAT forum.

Hi!

I'll also be taking the MCATs this august...I'm a junior and I'm taking during the actual application cycle. My only advice to you is from what I've heard from others...Pretty much, just treat this exam as you would for a tough science course that you need to ace in the end. Maybe even more so...

As for studying, I'm on my way to spring break and I plan on reviewing some of the material that I have on hand already. I have a Kaplan book so I'll be studyng that as well as reviewing notes from old classes. I'm also going to try taking a practice exam to see where my weaknesses lie and trying to strengthen those areas.

I really do want to take a prep course b/c I function pretty well in a classroom setting. It's the darn money that makes it such an issue for so many of us😡 ! I'm trying to do everything in my power to come up with the means...

Good luck with your studying and hope all goes well!😉
