Q: I missed the info session about creating an MCAT study plan! What should I know? I plan to take it this summer!
A: You can watch a recorded version or go through the slides posted on our website! We introduce a five-step process that’ll help you prepare to create the plan:
- learn about the exam via the HPA MCAT Guide, AAMC website information, talking to others
- assess your current knowledge by taking a practice test and reading through the content outline to see what topics you’ve studied
- choose your resources with advice from friends and comparison shopping from resources at HPA
- consider how much time you have by jotting down the hours per week you can commit between now and your test date (anticipate 300-500 hours of content plus practice) create the plan taking inspiration from examples presented in the workshop
