ecobeco Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I plan to write the MCAT at the end of next summer but since I will be in summer school May-July I have started studying a bit in advance. I have Cracking the MCAT by TPR, and also each of their individual subject review books published in 2010. My question is, where do I begin? I have 6 books just resting on my table and I don't know which one to start with first. My weakness is physics (at least I didn't do very well in first year uni) and my strength I would say is bio and verbal. How much should I study now and how exactly should I study? Should I do a practice test first or is it too early ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanillabear Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 no ones strength is verbal... no one Disagree haha, I always do better (or equally well) in verbal than any other section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebriz Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Make sure you don't register your cracking book until you are absolutely ready to be tested. Do the AAMC3 free exam online and the TPR free exam before registering your cracking book because it will only last for a year after you register!! Hope that helps! and good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecobeco Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Oops! I think I already registered :s Could I just use another cracking book to reregister? And where can I find more practice tests seems like there are just two free ones :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltandpepper Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 share me that talent. i feel like i can give away my soul for a higher verbal score at the moment. okay maybe not my soul but something close...half of my liver, eyeball, kidney...you name it...- _- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claire_tea Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yes, I'm human . But I'm a social science student, so I haven't had the exposure to chem/bio most typical 'premeds' have had, which put me at a disadvantage for the PS/BS sections. I'm still nowhere near as talented as one of my best friends on the VR section though; she managed a 15 on one of the practise AAMCs and scored 12/13/14 on most of them.
