motivated2014 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi, A little bit of history about myself. Mature student and wanted to take MCAT early 2013. Currently working but quitting in a couple of months to prepare for MCAT. I am taking 5 months off and wanted to prepare for MCAT during the that period. Tried to prepare for MCAT for a few of months now while working but its not working. Highly stressful job, long hours and family too... so working and study is not workingm therefore quitting... I am planning to use SN2ed 4 month study plan to prepare myself. Learned all the basics (chemistry, biology,Org Chem, Physics ) years ago, do not remember 10% of it currently, My question is without any prior preparation, Is it a good idea to follow SN2ed study plan? Is my plan of 5 months concentrated preparation good enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is my plan of 5 months concentrated preparation good enough? I have seen that calendar and it seems like a great schedule if you have the time. I am in a similar boat to you I think - I am 28, working full-time (and teach part-time) and plan to take the MCAT on August 17. I have yet to start studying for the most part. I think 5 months of full-time studying is way more than enough - especially if you have a science background, even if it is quite far in your past. I have kept up with very basis math, chem and bio through teaching high schoolers and about 3 weeks ago I took a full-length Kaplan test and got 33 (13P, 10V, 10B). I think you will find that the basics will come back to you quicker than you think. If you have that much time, I would devout a lot of it to practice exams to get familiar with the timing and structure of the test, while also obviously studying the material in between.

motivated2014 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks for your input. I am 35 and did my B.sc 15 yrs ago. I am completely on a different career path and therefore a lot more detached from the subjects... I hope 5 months I have allocated is enough... 33 is quite good score.Good luck. I am glad I do not have to prepare for the WS as I am giving it next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bored Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 you should be fine Make sure you relay on youtube videos for understand the hard science concepts. they are very good for concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
