1. What review course did you use, and would you recommend it?
I took a Kaplan course and loved the resources. However, I wasn't a big fan of the course itself. – Phi Tran
.....
I used the in person Kaplan reveiw course and I would recomend it to anyone who wants to do better on their MCAT. – Joseph Recio
.....
I used the self-paced online course with both Kaplan and Princeton Review. I would recommend both simply because they both give you more than 10 practice tests and access to all of the AMCAS review material (including practice problems and practice tests. I personally preferred the books from Princeton Review for reviewing content, but both Kaplan and Princeton Review cover the same content.
Another resource I used was Khan Academy. Khan Academy partnered with AMCAS to produce videos covering everything you will ever need to know when taking the MCAT. When I was studying for the MCAT, they had over 1000 hours of video.
If the Kaplan and Princeton Review courses are a little expensive for your budget, you can always buy individual practice tests from various companies. – Lorna Min
.....
I used Kaplan and I thought they did a very good job. I would definitely recommend supplementing with Khan Academy for the Psychology and Sociology sections. Khan Academy does a very good job with definition questions that are important to keep straight in Psychology and Sociology section. – Brandon Dickey
.....
Kaplan Self-Paced. I absolutely love it. You just HAVE to be disciplined though because it is easy to just only do a little bit of work or not do any at all one day because you don't have any assignments that are "due." However, when really motivated you can get a lot more done than with a regular class, and since I am so busy all the time it is great. – Lauren Holladay
.....
I used the Princeton Review because I actually received it for free through a raffle at AMSA National Convention the spring of my sophomore year. I loved it. My class was live on line in addition to receiving books, practice tests, and the self-paced content. I would 10/10 recommend, but I would just stress that these are review courses, so if you have not taken the class yet, or if you tested out of the class from high school, you may need a little more information than these courses can offer. – Courtney Ann Prestwood
2. What did/does your study schedule look like?
I took a section test a day, and a full length every weekend over Christmas break. I had two break days a week for fun and personal commitments. – Phi Tran
.....
I studied all day every day in the summer before my MCAT and all day everyday in the Christmas break. – Boomer Diaz
.....
Starting out, I tried to just read and review all of the content. I did this for about 3 months and then moved to doing a lot of practice questions for the next 3 months. When I was doing practice questions, I would try to do a section test every other day and then review it thoroughly on my days off. Also, for the last 3 months of my prep, I tried to do a practice test every week and then review it thoroughly the
