<p>I've searched on this forum for answer, but have had some issues finding it.</p>
<p>I am going to be a junior in the next academic year. I plan on taking the MCAT in the spring. I will be taking 13 credits-Physics 2, and a upper level physiology course will be my only science courses. I have already completed all of my pre-reqs other than physics by the end of my sophmore year.</p>
<p>During the fall semester I am going abroad. Which date (in May or April) should I take the MCAT. Also how much time do I give myself to studying and what kind of limits on my extra curriculars should I place. Thanks.</p>
<p>I plan on doing both-taking a class and studying myself. </p>
<p>I know my abilities, but I do not know the nature of the test so I really have no idea if 6 months studying or 3 months studying is required. I also have finished all of my pre-reqs besides physics 2, so it will be a year of seperation from Ochem and 2 years of seperation for genchem.</p>
<p>The standard seems to be around 3 months. This is what many of my friends did while taking the class and doing another activity (working shadowing etc) part time.</p>
