time frame for studying for the MCAT...again

[apr27]

So, I've taken the MCAT a few times...1 void and 2 actual scores. The first score is considered old now. Will they still be able to see that btw?

My highest was a 27 and this cycle is not panning as I hoped. I studied for 3 months last time. If I did plan to retake the beast, would you suggest a shorter/more intense routine, another 3 month-er (but highlighting my weaknesses), or maybe even studying for 3+ months?

Thoughts?

It all depends on your previous levels of preparedness. Judging by your score, you need to sit down and focus solely on content. If you're getting less than 10 on the PS or BS, it's because your content review has holes and you need to patch them up. This means you should aim for 3+ months at least- the first 1.5-2 months doing content review with the last month to month and a half doing straight up full lengths and grading them/narrowing down your weaknesses.

This is also assuming you're willing to put in 4-5 hours of studying a day on weekdays at least. You can always try to follow SN2ed's study schedule.
