SHould a high schooler start preparing for MCATS?

<p>I guess i wont stress now as the consensus is : "worry about the MCATs 4 years later"</p>

<p>No..................</p>

<p>Well, three. :)</p>

<p>oh my gosh you are ridiculous.</p>

<p>dude go get laid or something</p>

<p>hahahahaha</p>

<p>mcat's in highschool...are u serious</p>

<p>Actually, a friend of mine started studying MCAT after taking the SAT in seventh grade. First of all, unless you know the material of the test, taking the challenge might not be a bad idea, but if you lack the basic knowledge, you're merely wasting time. "dude go get laid or something" might not be appropriate if you're planning to be a doctor. Anyways, enjoy you're senior year, though (I'm a senior too). Read a book or take a class in a community college that you actually like.
If you're serious about the MCAT, your school work should be doing that already (writing, reading, chemistry, physics, biology, o chem? - maybe not). Despite what the others said, studying your weak point might not be a bad idea.</p>

<p>Oh, by the way, I heard Examkrackers and Kaplan are really good.</p>

<p>If you want to have a nervous breakdown....</p>

<p>i recommend Kaplan.</p>

<p>If you still want to have your 61 years....</p>

<p>I recommend that you first enjoy life.</p>

<p>"dude go get laid or something" might not be appropriate if you're planning to be a doctor.</p>

<p>You're funny....you're telling me doctors don't think about getting laid...</p>

<p>and about your advice, I DON'T recommend you do that because MCATs cover COLLEGE content, which means you need COLLEGE background. That means you WILL be wasting your time because you need to think like a COLLEGE student. I hate how high school students on this forum think they are already admitted into medical school after graduating from high school...give me a break. But man if you want to study for the MCATs, go for it, it's not like you're wasting my time.</p>

<p>hey its funny: a guy studying for MCAT in 7TH GRADE??</p>

<p>I WISH I COULDVE DONE THAT</p>

<p>no you don't lol...you would probably have committed suicide by now</p>

<p>You know it's even possible to pass your MCATs at the age of 10...just look at Doogie Howser lol</p>

<p>Is that a movie??? you know there are kids like that and to me it's just sickening lol....I mean even if i was a genius, yea i would take some advantage out of it, but I'd want to enjoy my childhood as much as possible...why the hell would you want to be a 16 yr old doctor?...i once heard this case a long time ago that there was this 12 year old prodigy who passed his MCATS will awesome scores and is studyin medicine at Oxford University...i feel sorry for those kids, they're losing the real fun times of their lives</p>

<p>Pritzker (University of Chicago), I believe, has an MS3 who is 14 years old.</p>

<p>No, study hard in high school and have some fun
Patients don't like doctors that do not know about what it is like to have a real like with social activities, friends, sports, etc
You need to live in the real world if you want to take care of sick people</p>

<p>You know (I am a HS junior, but am NOT studying for the MCATs but I wll summer of senior year I think) it IS possible to have fun and study right?</p>

<p>Like party by night and give an hour or so to study during the day?</p>

<p>Trust me I know how to party, and definetly know how to have fun but I need something to balance it off</p>

<p>There Is Absolutely No Need For You To Study Next Summer</p>

<p>hahahahahaha</p>
