Hey everyone!
I am currently a sophomore in a 7 year medical program. So I must take the MCAT before August 31st 2016 in order to apply to my program's med school and others. I am considering taking it in late May or June 2016 or wait and take it late July or early August 2016. However, during the spring semester where I would study for a potential May/June MCAT, I would be taking Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular biology, one or two easy electives and possibly microbiology. If I were to take it in July or early August, the upcoming semester I would have the aforementioned courses plus microbiology. However, if I take it during that time, I don't think I will be that focused during the summer to study, also I have to fast for Ramadan during middle June-middle July, thus making it more difficult to study.
So, I've a few questions 1. Would it be best for me to take it in late May/ early June or late July/earlyAugust? 2. If I were to take it May/June, should I keep microbiology in the schedule or leave it so I can focus on test prep? 3. If I were to take it May/June, could one recommend a study schedule beginning in December (December break) including the fact that I am taking classes in spring semseter?
I would talk to a advisor at my school, but they're all pretty inept and do not know much.
Thank you so much!
