The MCAT Countdown!!!!!

Okay, so my MCAT is scheduled for Sept 11th however, I would love to change it to the 12th (last MCAT for the year). As planned, I have been studying roughly 10 hours per day. I did all the 1001 Examkracker questions for orgo and chemistry. Tomorrow, I will start on physics. It has been rough but I have made progress. As I stated before, my gpa is good at a 3.8 with great stats. The only thing holding me back is my MCAT. Does anyone have any other suggestions besides a pot of coffee and plenty of prayers?

If I do not get a decent score this time around, then I will study at least an hour a day for the next 6 months. To be competitive in a DO school I only need about a 6 point increase from my 21 score. This summer I took 21 credit hours including anatomy and physiology, nutrition, sociology, and growth/human development. I am hoping the extra science courses will help as well.


I wish I had time to complete biochemistry and genetics. There just arent enough hours in the day for work, family, and school.

How was the MCAT?

If this was your schedule before you took the MCAT, then you took on WAY too much, IMHO.

To balance this with a family as well is a recipe for a lack-luster performance on the exam.

If you did great and I'm wrong, you get the biggest congrats from me!
