<p>To be honest, I can't remember what else Princeton Review recommended for reading so I'll defer to BDM on this one. I know I definitely don't have the discipline to read something for 2 years just to prep for a test. I remember trying to memorize 3000 "high yield" vocab words for SAT verbal and quitting midway through the "A" words.</p>
<p>"Primary prophylaxis"</p>
<p>Sorry, I had to laugh...</p>
<p>^^ Explain!!! lol...</p>
<p>I think the New Yorker is probably of a smiliar standard compared to the MCAT.</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions, folks! New Yorker definitely sounds do-able.</p>
<p>Y'all sure about that? New Yorker... isn't that more stories (fiction and non-fiction) than subject discussions?</p>
<p>Good point.</p>
<p>The New Yorker has quite a few interesting essays about current events (Reporting</a> & Essays: The New Yorker) and articles about arts and culture (Arts</a> & Culture: The New Yorker) with each issue. It does have fiction, which isn't helpful, but if someone's not inclined to read the Economist, I think the New Yorker might be worthwhile.</p>
<p>Edit: After reading some of the stuff in those two sections that I linked to, I'm getting MCAT and Kaplan flashbacks. So I think those parts of the New Yorker are worthwhile. :)</p>
<p>What is the xiggi method? Maybe there is a thread on cc that i could read to understand this?</p>
<p>No, this is ridiculous! You’re in HIGH SCHOOL! Getting a head start on the MCAT will not guarantee you a better score than if you start studying when most people do. Focus on getting into college first…
Then, as a premed, have a good gpa and extracurriculars. its INSANE to start prepping for the MCAT as a senior when YOU DON’T KNOW ENOUGH OF THE MATERIAL ON IT YET. You should wait till you take the required pre med courses obviously…</p>
