MCAT Strategy - Elements of Successful MCAT Study

[Deyak20]

I'm going to starting my MCAT prep (with TPR) early May, and will be writing my MCAT near the end of August.

Although this gives me quite a bit of time, I will also be doing an internship in a biochemistry lab as well (I was honest with my supervisor about my intent on writing MCAT and he said he would accommodate for me). I'm looking at about 6 hours of lab work a day.

Do you have any advise for me as I start my Prep? (I'm a 3rd year NeuroSci student).

Your schedule will certainly be busy, but it is not impossible to pull it off. After 6 hours of lab work in a day, you may only get 2-3 hours of study in afterwards. That means you will have to put in more hours on the weekends. The key will be consistency. Find a place where you can reliably study without distractions. I've always been a library person. I cannot study at home and I have to force myself to go there.

I got a 35Q w/ 19 days of studying (mind you those were 15hour days... so almost added up to 300 hours) :P

That works. Although it must have been rather unpleasant for those 19 days ;).

This is very helpful to me. I need to start studying NOW!

Thanks for all of the advice!
