Option 1: Jan 28th, 2012. I would enroll in a TPR/Kaplan course beginning in mid-October and ending in early January. My school has a 3 week break and my spring classes start the week the MCAT class ends (Jan 9). This gives me 3 weeks to take practice tests during break, as well as 3 during spring semester. Yet I don't want to blow my grades during spring semester by neglecting classes to study for the MCAT for a few weeks at the beginning. Is it worth it to take practice tests the way it is recommended on here (ie at the same time as testing and spaced about 2-3 days apart) so far before the test? Once classes start, I would probably be able to do 1, maybe 2 practice tests a week until the exam.
Option 2: May 18th or 25th, 2012. I would enroll in a TPR/Kaplan course beginning in January and ending in early May, right after my last final. I then have 2 or 3 weeks to take practice tests before the exam. In this scenario, outside of the class & its required work, I would be focusing almost entirely on my classes/finals up until the 2/3 weeks before MCAT. Testing this date would also mean later scores (late June) which would delay my app slightly. I also don't know how being enrolled in the course would affect the grades on my finals.
Let me know what you think.
