How long will it take me to prepare for the MCAT?This has to be about everyone’s burning question. However, there is no clear-cut answer. As abundantly elucidated in the description of the MCAT, the test itself is extremely long and diverse. Therefore, it is difficult to say with certainty that you will require a set amount of tutoring to do as well as you can. What is certain is that you ought to allot at least a minimum of 6 months to dedicate to the preparation of the MCAT. During this period you will appreciate where your weaknesses lie and therefore where you need more guidance and support. The tutors at AGF Tutoring will be able to discern fairly early on what your respective level is in the various areas of the test and hence be able to give you a clearer picture of your overall preparation.
Can I sit the MCAT more than once?Yes you can but you definitely want to avoid this fate. Many do indeed have to sit the test at least twice to attain the required score to go on to college. However, this is a test like no other and if you can avoid multiple sittings then do so. The best advice is to prepare as well as you possibly can on the premise that you simply have to pass the test the first time and if you don’t then you will go and sit it again. Remember that all the medical schools have access to the MCAT databases and therefore they can easily see how many times you have sat the MCAT.
How many hours a week should I devote to MCAT preparation?Treat the MCAT as you would the Marathon: you need to pack in around 3 hours a day of proper hard-core training if you want to see tangible results.
When is the best time to begin MCAT preparation?This is the sort of test that you need to time correctly: you don’t want to commence preparation too early but you certainly do not want to leave it till the last minute. If you begin too early you may suffer from burn-out: you know that you have the luxury of time and therefore you do not devote yourself to the task maybe as much as you should. And conversely starting too late is inviting trouble: this is not the type of test that you can cram for – you need to accumulate knowledge and test-taking strategies.
