The plan starts exactly ten weeks before the MCAT, including a soft break in week five, and emphasizes an active workflow: pre-read, in-depth reading with notes, timed in-class exams, and reinforcement review. It also provides guidance on practice exams, score review strategies, endurance building, and staying consistent as Test Day approaches.","Examkrackers  \nHome Study Schedule  \nThis home study regimen is similar to the schedule of the successful Examkrackers Comprehensive MCAT® course. We recommend you begin exactly ten weeks prior to your MCAT® and take a “soft week”break in the middle during week five.  \nPreparation:  \nThis home study schedule utilizes:  \n• The Examkrackers Complete Study Package, 11th edition  \n• Examkrackers Exams MCAT EK-1,2,3,4,5,6  \n• Examkrackers 101 Passages series  \n• Examkrackers 1001 Questions: Chemistry and 1001 Questions: Physics  \n• TheAAMC Official MCAT® Practice Exams 1, 2 and 3.  \nOn Day One you will begin your preparation by taking an official AAMC Practice MCAT® in order to determine your baseline score. Notice the style of MCAT® passages and questions. Gain a general sense of where your strengths and weaknesses may be. Aim to spend no more than 7-8 minutes per passage in the science sections and no more than 10 minutes per passage in the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS) section.  \nNow you can begin reading, taking practice questions, and completing the in-class exams for four Examkrackers lectures per week. Budget about 2-3 hours a day, six days per week. Attack the lessons in the following way:  \n1. Pre-read the lecture. Read the lecture as you would a novel—quickly, and without worrying about the details.  \n2. Read the lecture more thoroughly with a pen in your hand so that you can take notes and highlight areas of weakness. Take the 24 in-lecture questions during this reading.  \n3. Take the in-class exam corresponding to that lecture. Allow yourself no more than 30 minutes to complete the exam. Review the exam with the explanations and post any questions you have on the MCAT® forums on the Examkrackers website.  \n4. Follow up by reviewing the lecture. Reread the lecture a third time, reviewing closely those sections which need reinforcement.  \n5. Study a variety of material each week. Do not complete one full manual before starting the next. Instead, study one or two lectures each from several different manuals every week to  \nbroaden the range of material you cover. This will help ensure that you are prepared for all four exam sections on Test Day and will help you measure your progress. A recommended sequence of lectures, modeled after the Examkrackers MCAT® Course, is included in the detailed weekly study plan.  \n6. Take practice exams. Taking practice exams will help you stay in touch with the MCAT® to shape your study of the content and help you build endurance for Test Day. Taking practice exams forces you to actively engage with the material and practice MCAT® skills. Studying without MCAT® practice (i.e. only reviewing content) is passive. The MCAT® rewards independent and active thinking. Reviewing and organizing science concepts is effective for MCAT® success only when it is done in coordination with the approach the MCAT® asks of you. The greatest score increases are seen in students who regularly do practice passages to build MCAT® skills while also reviewing and organizing the needed basic science concepts. For maximum improvement, always approach these‘simulated MCAT® exams’ as if they were the real MCAT® .  \n7. Review your practice exams. This is the step that will most increase your MCAT® score. While reviewing content is absolutely necessary to understanding the language of the MCAT®, preparing content does not change MCAT® scores. What changes MCAT® scores is coming to understand the exam and learning from your mistakes. Questions that you get wrong or mark are the ticket to improving your score. Ideally you should repeatedly attempt to answer questions you got wrong until you get them right yourself because only when you practice MCAT® style problem solving will you come to see improvement at problem solving. If you need to look up content and return to the question, do so. Careful: once you read an answer explanation, you can never again use that question for MCAT® practice as you will know ","cbCaigY2anC7TO0L","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigY2anC7TO0L","pdf",360653,1,9,"English","en",105,"# Overview\n## Preparation Materials\n## Daily Time Budget and Weekly Structure\n# Study Method for Lectures and Exams\n## Pre-read, Notes, and In-Class Exams\n## Follow-up Review\n## Practice Exams and Review Process\n# Week-by-Week Plan\n## Week 1 Schedule and Tasks","[{\"question\":\"When should you start the MCAT home study schedule and what happens in week five?\",\"answer\":\"Start exactly ten weeks prior to the MCAT.
