t0ny Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hey everyone, I am doing the SN2ed MCAT study schedule this summer and writing the MCATs on August 23rd but might change to early september. So I wanted to start a thread first of all to know if anyone else is following this schedule this summer as well. If anyone is, we can use this thread to show our progress and any problems we encounter along the way or questions for it. We can use it to try to stay motivated!

jackwee Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I (plan) on following that schedule as well! My testing date is August 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAPTORS99 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm also planning to use it. My test date is August 4th. I have to look at in more detail and actually make sense of what I'm supposed to be doing each day. Does anybody know approximately how many hours it is per day?

Prof.A.DumbleDore Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm using it now. It is roughly at least 6 hours per day. Depending on the subject and the material. 2-3 hours for the corresponding chapter (I take longer cuz I like to take notes). Then more time for reviewing the previous days work/passages + verbal + whatever else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Field87ven Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hey I will be doing the same schedule this summer along with taking Organic Chem + Gen Chem. We have the same test date as well; it would be nice to have a thread dedicated so we can all vent here/ dicuss various topics we are stuck on. Good luck to all.

t0ny Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 That's what I was hoping this thread would be. A vent/talk about sn2ed schedule and MCAT studies in general. I'm starting my schedule on may 4th and I already have all my books (All TBR books, All EK except bio). When are u all starting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePT216 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I will be following it as well, but probably not writing till September or so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAPTORS99 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'll be starting around May 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0ny Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hope you guys have all your books already! TBR is slight pain to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAPTORS99 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I just finished taking Orgo I and II. Do you guys suggest sticking to BR for content or only using it for practice. I feel pretty confident about most of the content. Is anybody else also in the same situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof.A.DumbleDore Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 If you just took orgo 1 and 2, stick to EK. Br for passages and anything you need to brush up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bored Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 how do you start studying? im so bored out of my mind.. I don't feel like studying.. Everytime I study something, I keep thinking "I already know this stuff" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holiday1001 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 how do you start studying? im so bored out of my mind.. I don't feel like studying.. Everytime I study something, I keep thinking "I already know this stuff" if you know the stuff, then you know the stuff. move on keep in mind that 11-15 for bs, ps, makes no difference in Ontario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0ny Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 There is a difference between knowing the stuff when you read it and being able to recall that knowledge during the exam. The MCAT will be 80% review but this doesn't mean you shouldn't study those sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field87ven Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Will most likely start within a couple days doing the 3 month version of the schedule. Exams ended last week so I wanted to rest for a bit before starting. Should be done near the start of August, and will attempt to fit in more FL's in that time for more practice. I've got the whole SN2ed set, and was thinking of also grabbing TPR for some extra passage practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAPTORS99 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Anybody planning on using EK Orgo for content and BR for passages? Will you guys also be using the EK 1001 for Orgo? It seems as if Orgo won't be a huge part of the test and I'd much rather spend that time practicing some verbal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0ny Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'll be doing the share of orgo necessary for the exam. In SN2ed schedule there is basically some verbal fit it everyday. I don't think u will need more than that. Otherwise it will be just overkill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field87ven Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't know if there is such a thing as too much VR practice . It is definitely the most important section as far as Canadian schools are concerned, and one of the hardest to learn. I wonder if there is anything else besides the EK 101 and TPRH verbal to study off of that closely represents the MCAT verbal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasiunut Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm writing the MCAT in Saturday (eeek!) and am NOT ready. So I'm planning on taking it again in August (no date set yet though). I'll be doing a modified version using just TPR and maybe EK extra for verbal though with verbal it's currently my strongest area. I'll be starting around mid-may.

Ocelot Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm planning to use the 4 month variation and will write in early Sept. Still need to get TPR Hyperlearning Verbal, that thing is so darn expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osteogeek Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm writing the MCAT in Saturday (eeek!) and am NOT ready. So I'm planning on taking it again in August (no date set yet though). I'll be doing a modified version using just TPR and maybe EK extra for verbal though with verbal it's currently my strongest area. I'll be starting around mid-may. I'm actually doing the same. I'm in grad school, and coursework was heavy enough this term that I didn't get to do nearly as much studying as I wanted to (aka I've really only been studying for less than a month, and I haven't taken many life sciences at the university level). I figured I'll write it anyway for the experience (and who knows, I might get lucky and get the scores I want). I'm planning to rewrite in Late August/Early September (will book a date 48 hours after the exam on Saturday), and will be doing the 4-month method starting probably the second week of May. I'm also working a full-time job this summer (no choice, as most grad students will tell you, haha), so I'm hoping that the 4-month plan combined with the month I've already done will be enough.
