I guess I have no choice but to be in this date since that is Japan's only test date!

Leggo- 3.5 months left, so I am starting to study intensely on Monday. Just finished an app for an opportunity next year.

From here on out I would like to do a test every week at 1pm :).

After not taking it in August, the best decision of my life, I'm signing up the first day possible and getting to it. Believe it or not but a whole summer of studying even though I didn't take it was good for me. I gotta get a couple more books and figure out how I'm gonna study for my classes and this test at the same time...oh well...I'm pretty stoked :soexcited: Lets get it! :thumbup:

Leaning towards taking this one instead of the other Jan one because of the later 1 PM start. We'll see what happens though. I'm taking a full courseload this semester and I've been having issues allotting time in my schedule for MCAT prep- may need to push back til March...

Hey Guys!

I am too planning to take the MCAT on this date, I just could not turn down the 1PM time! Is anyone on here studying for the mcat working full time and taking classes? I am trying to figure out what is the best way to attack this. I have TBR and EK + EK 1001, so I plan on starting test prep today. Any suggestions?!

Wassup! Just registered and somewhat excited =D Lets do this everyone!

FutureDoc2 - Im in the same boat as you. Im following SN2ed schedule, but with a few changes. Instead of studying material for 5 days and doing questions on day 6, im doing study material M-Th (physics, chem, bio, ochem), Friday do EK1001 for physics and chem, and then saturday do EK1001 for bio and ochem. Also on saturday will be the 2/3 for TBR, which leaves sunday to study for midterms for school o_0

Luckily im taking physics, biochem, and animal cell physiology, which are pretty relevant on the MCAT. I have a physics midterm next monday on Simple Harmonic Motion and Sound, haha, so i just studied those chapters from TBR also, two birds with one stone ~_^

1PMer here, retaking from Sept 10. Got a 12/7/11 (Ouch, that verbal!)

I've already finished the EK 101 book, so I bought the TPRH workbook to get some more passages to practice with. Hopefully I won't be so spaced out that I almost fall asleep during the real thing! Good luck to everyone else here :)

I'm also taking classes and doing 15ish hours of research a week + my other ECs. Just gotta get that verbal up!

I’m officially registered to take this beast of an exam on this date. I feel anxious, excited and terrified all at the same time.... But let’s give it everything we got for the next 105 days! Is anyone studying in Tampa or Orlando that’s interested in meeting up to study a couple times a month?

signed up in Miami, first timer

I'm strongly considering taking the Princeton Review hyperlearning course from the middle of december to Jan 10th, then its 18 days until the exam.

I took their prep course this past summer, and I would say it was pretty helpful besides the verbal. I thought the verbal was really pointless. You should really buy EK101 verbal and supplement that with TPRH verbal workbook. :thumbup:

I just graduated from USF last May. Now I'm doing an internship at Celebration Hospital, working on the weekends and preparing for judgment day (1/28/2012) every minute in between. Which study schedule are you on?

Just took the Princeton Review MCAT diagnostic, and tomorrow I'm taking Kaplan's. Don't know how much help they will be, but I'm already registered.

A tip for those who are trying to improve VR: do at least a couple of practice passages EVERYDAY and use LSAT practice materials if you're running short on MCAT material.

I brought my VR up to a 13 from an 8 by consistently practicing passages and reviewing/analyzing them very thoroughly to try and understand the test maker perspective.

Hey! thanks for the response.

In regards to EK101 for VR, is the old book just as good as the new ones? cuz I was going the first couple passage and it all looked the same except the question is in a different order.

Did you use any other supplements for the physical & biological sciences while ur taking the class?

Wow its been a while since I browsed the MCAT section of SDN. I remember being in the same position as you guys about a year ago: Setting up my study schedule, getting the books, registering for the Jan. MCAT, etc.

Good luck to all of you!!! Use your winter break wisely!

I'm registered for this day. I'm retaking and probably won't start studying until winter break. So I'll have like 3 weeks to review. Good luck everyone!

I registered, as well! Did an EK practice test this weekend and started to review some physics.

Good luck, everyone!
