2-Month Study Plan: Procrastinator
Mina wants to apply to schools this cycle, even though she doesn’t have quite as much time as she would like to prepare for the MCAT. She plans to study for 2 months, 37.5 hours per week, as if it were a full time job, and to temporarily shut down her social life.
For practice materials, Mina decides to purchase the following AAMC resources: the AAMC Official Guide to the MCAT plus Online Practice Questions, the Section Bank, and two Practice Tests (Total cost of FastPass Video Series, FastPass Study Guide & AAMC resources = $537.95).
