Hi guys, Im gonna graduate in Spring 2014 & was wondering when to start preparing for the MCAT ; Also, do u guys think that 4 months should be enough or should I start studying earlier ? I know it depends on who u are, but I just need to know like how long on average. 🙄 When do I need to take the MCAT & how long do I have to wait before I can sign up for the test again (If I wanna retake it ) ???? Just wanna mention that I won't b done with the pre requisites till fall this year.

Christmas break through beginning of April. Take MCAT in April.

What prereqs do you have outstanding?

I'd say that as soon as you finish your prereqs, you should start MCAT studying.

whenever you're ready.

Why do you recommend April?

Score back in May. Enough time to evaluate if you want to apply in June, or retake in May and get another score back in time to still apply early with your MCAT score.

You won't 😛 personally, I needed to be studying full time for at least a month to do well on the MCAT. But that's me 😉 see how your practices go and go from there

Take a practice test when you're done with your pre-reqs and then decide.
