CaribPirate Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi everyone! I am currently an 11th grade high school student and I was wondering when should I start preparing for the MCAT? Is it beneficial to start now or should I wait to finish the high school biology curriculum for a better foundation? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicineLCS Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Please don't be the high schooler who starts studying for the MCAT. You're setting yourself up for early burnout. First year hits even smart high schoolers hard, wait until the middle/end of 2nd year for the earliest start, and only if you're competitive as a 3rd year applicant.

If I were to start should I prepare more for the biology section or the CARS section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 You definitely definitely do not need to study this early!! I wrote the MCAT August after second year university and started studying May of second year university (giving me a little less than 4 months of study time). I have a friend who studied for only two months and still did very well. If you're super keen maybe start a few months before that, but any more than that is unnecessary and you'll probably just forget the material before your test date. Offmychestplease was definitely being sarcastic haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
