<p>what were or are your MCAT studying routines.
is it better to take a course for the test like the ones Princeton and Kaplan offers?
and how early should you start studying. Please don't reply saying "all your life if you expect to pass and pass high"
all input is appreciated. </p>
<p>Reason I'm asking because the study book itself is very overwhelming.</p>
<p>These are excellent places to start with much of the information you’re looking for:</p>

<p>It is individual choice. D. really appreciated her Kaplan prep. class. Some others felt that it was waste of time and money for them. You will not know until you take one. Also, how long you study is very individual. Again, D. has started her class in October for test in May, and she commented many times that with her very busy schedule it worked the best for her. Most posts here on CC suggest much shorter period. Some are done very well with about 3-4 weeks.</p>
<p>Thank you, I’m definitely going to look into Kaplan. I did look into Princeton but I just don’t like their methods as well =/</p>
<p>i took princeton and liked it. def helped boost my score. the key to take as many practice tests as i can. got my score back yesterday and did pretty well</p>
<p>^Congrats! Good luck applying.</p>
