Planning on taking the MCATS, is this a good game plan? Any other suggestions?

Pre-Med & Medical School MCAT Prep

<p>I took a KAPLAN course last year around this time but never really took it too seriously so I ended up not taking the MCATS last summer. I was speaking to a doctor at the Hospital that I work at and since I'm supposed to graduate in '11 he told me I should take it this summer, but take it in June then take it again in August.</p>

<p>I don't want to pay for another Kaplan course so my plan was to review the flash cards we get in the package and the other material using the knowledge I get from those plus what I got from school to take it in June.</p>

<p>I've always wanted to take an "Exam Krakers" course, and I know that they have some running at Columbia University.....do you think it's a good idea to study on my own before June then take the Exam Krakers course RIGHT AFTER that before my test in August?</p>

<p>Your feedback is much appreciated.</p>

<p>You should only take the MCAT once, if possible. Are you planning to apply this year? If so, August is starting to push it as far as a timeline goes. Honestly, I don’t know how much more lectures are going to be of value to you. I would probably just buy the online materials and self study.</p>
