Hey guys, I did the MCAT this July, 13 and got a 29. Just wondering if it is too late to start studying (final exams/work took all of my time) for the January 25th MCAT? I took the Princeton course a few months ago, and I still have a lot of the material in my head as well as the notes/cue cards, etc. Do you think it is too late for me and I should just drop out of the exam?

You have a month, put in 3-4 a days on your weak spots and do a lot of practice problems. See where you are sometime in January by taking an emcat exam and if you're comfortable with your score you should be fine to take it.

A 29 is great and I dont think you need that much more time to improve. Just hit your weak spots. And if you dont think you'll be ready by 1/25 than the studying you did leading up to it will be helpful when you take it in april or may.

agreed, you have 5 weeks.


Put in the time as if you were going to take it in Jan. If you're not ready a week before, I would say hold off. But the time you put in will be invaluable regardless if you decide to retake at some point.
