<p>is it a bad idea to prepare for the MCAT entirely on my own, or do you think it's worth it to pay for a class like Kaplan? for a portion of my study period, ill be in school taking classes, so the idea of a structured course is really appealing. im not worried about paying for the class, so money isnt a deciding factor.</p>
<p>also, how far in advance should i start studying? 4-5 months? any good strategies? thanks for any input!</p>
