Every endeavor has a game plan. Whether it be a small get together involving wine and cheese or a huge software project, we'll need some kind of organization. Here's mine.
background: Association of American Medical Colleges offers practice MCAT tests (#3 is free if you would like to know how well you would do and have a couple hours Click Here).
All the forums and sites I've been to have told me that nothing will prep better than to actually take practice exams. This will help gauge which subject areas are lacking and will build stamina for the actual test. The test itself is 4.5 hours and with breaks thrown in between, the sit down time is 5.5 hours.
Days until MCAT: 52
Weeks: 8
Week1:
Thursday: AAMC test #3
Week2: (my spring break)
Finish Kaplan prep book
Take practice exam on Kaplan prep book
Week3:
Really finish Kaplan prep if not already done
Start ExamKracker books (should be in by then)
AAMC test#4
Week4:
AAMC test #5
Week5:
AAMC test #6
Week6:
Finish Exam Kracker books
AAMC test #7
Week7:
AAMC test #8
AAMC test #9
Week8:
AAMC test#10
MCAT
Hopefully by then, I will have taken all 8 practice exams and do some of the practice tests that came included with my prep books.
Edit: Following one of my friends suggestions, the Game plan will now be referred to as the "Victory Agenda"
