If you have any wiggle room in your class scheduling to follow this pattern, I highly recommend it. This way, my school workload was minimized during the home stretch. Knowing my test date, I was able to schedule my spring semester classes with only 13, GE-favored credit hours in the first half of the semester before adding a few second-term classes on (to take after my MCAT date). With the test date approaching, the last 1-1.5 months are essential to turning all the content knowledge you have worked so hard into the score gains that you hope to see. Otherwise, youвЂ™ll be tackling your least favorite subjects having already endured a few months of content, which is no fun. This way, youвЂ™ll get to see score improvements quicker and dedicate more time to it. I highly recommend planning to address topics you struggle the most with/ones youвЂ™re most removed from class-wise first.

I took this exam in full to get a good idea of my percentages across the 4 topics of the MCAT. The AAMC prep bundle (which IвЂ™ll discuss further soon) contains five full-length exams, one of which is not graded on a scaled score. Getting organized also means taking a diagnostic exam to see where you are starting from. Beginning in October and ending with a March test date (about 6 months), I was able to get past that 1,000-hour mark without surpassing a 20-hour workweek until January. However, breaking that monstrous number down into 3+ parts in вЂњStudy PhasesвЂќ and even more in your вЂњWeekly Study TimelineвЂќ turns into some magical math. Sure, looking at the Total Hours part in the вЂњWhat to StudyвЂќ tab can be frightening in the beginning (mine was well over 1,000 hours). The Create-Your-Own Study Plan provided me with not only an honest calculation of the overall time required to improve my score as much as I wanted, but it also gave me the space to separate it off into bite-sized chunks. I knew this was exactly the organized, scheduled, and inexpensive route I was looking for. It was through this exploration that I came across MCAT Self Prep and AndrewвЂ™s MCAT Launchpad. The financial cost of prep materials should be accounted for (paying for myself, I chose an inexpensive route that IвЂ™ll describe soon). What does this mean? For one, explore your options. If you consider this route best as well, the fall semester (especially August-October) is a great time to get organized. Although summer options provide fewer class distractions, I chose to take my MCAT in the spring semester so that I could complete my AMCAS application in May, score in hand. Most students hoping to enroll in medical school directly after college graduation or after a gap year elect to take the MCAT the spring semester or summer before applying. Getting StartedД®stablishing a timeframe for something as big as the MCAT is not done overnight. I loved my calendar, spreadsheets, and phone reminders to hit the books, but it was learning about myself and my own study habits that got my sub-500 score up to a 523 on test day. Although advice from others may be useful, the most important thing I can tell you is to know yourself. I hope the successes and failures of my journey help you take this exam even stronger than I did.Д«efore I get started, I just want to congratulate you on taking on the MCAT! This beast of an exam is perhaps the most testing and difficult journey to take as a student. Since achieving a 99th Percentile score last year, I have spent my time tutoring students in both the MCATвЂ™s reading and content essentials, but also in the importance of diligence and mental health. My name is Max Wilberding and I am an Elite Tutor for MCAT Self Prep.
