I aimed to study for 7 hours per day, but usually hovered around 5-6 hours of solid study time (about 250 - 300 hours total). Despite the drop in some section scores I can say it feels awesome to know that I really put my all into this test, so there aren't any regrets.įirst off, acquaint yourself with the basics of the MCAT. I ended up studying 5 days a week for around 10 weeks in the spring. Typically people score slightly higher on the actual test compared to the AAMC practice test, but this just goes to show that things are variable and anything can happen. Here’s my score breakdown on the real MCAT and the AAMC Practice Test. I ended up with a 517 on the test, which certainly isn’t wizard-level like a 525, but I think the techniques I used helped me greatly in getting this score despite forgetting much of the basic sciences from early undergrad. Finally, the study aids mentioned are ones I personally used to prepare for the MCAT. This small income helps pay for hosting and design on the site, and it doesn't cost you anything.

I just recently finished the MCAT journey in May 2016, and wanted to write this as an informal guide to help future test takers. The good news is that a few months of focused study will give you the basic tools to handle even the most complicated looking questions. The new MCAT (2015 MCAT) is by far the most intensive and extensive test of the undergraduate career.
