Appropriate time to prepare for MCAT?

Pre-Med & Medical School MCAT Prep
1

<p>Hello, I am a recent high school graduate and future pre-med (bio) major with hopes of doing really well on the MCAT when the time comes. I need to know when is the most appropriate time to OFFICIALLY start studying and cramming for the MCAT. The past summer and some of this summer I've been reviewing A & P as much as I can and every chance I get just to become more accustomed to it then I already am. I can't help but feel like I should be doing something more/extra to help me further down the road in terms of solidifying all the scientific info I'm going to be accumulating over the next 3-4 years. Any suggestions on how I can ensure my capabilities of being well prepared for the MCAT or any advice on being a premed major would be extremely helpful! </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Way too soon to start prepping for the MCAT. Most students spend anywhere from 3 months to 4 weeks intensively prepping before their test date.</p>

<p>If you want to do something now that will give you the most benefit–spend time improving your reading speed, comprehension and analysis of both scientific and non-scientific material. The verbal section is the one skill that is most difficult to improve on in short period of time.</p>
