It Has Begun

I finally went and picked up an MCAT preparation book. The thing is a monster, over a thousand really, really, big pages. And my, is there a lot of material to be covered. Most of it seems familiar: stuff from high school and lower division sciences. I think most of my studying for the MCAT will consist of re-lighting memory pathways in my brain which have fallen into disuse.

I have even prepared a plan of attack. I'm going to spend time each weekday (Mon-Fri) studying a portion of the material. I hope to go through everything once every four weeks. That means, come exam time in April, I will know this stuff cold. Of course, that is the ideal. My first four week trial will let me know how well it works in reality. I think after Christmas I'll start with practice full length exams. That will take up a few of my Saturdays, but what better way to prep for the real thing than doing copies. By the way, the exam itself takes about 8 hrs (including break time), so it's a test of endurance if anything.

So it has begun.

On a side note, you won't be able to call me a teenager in an hour and 15 mins. Yay!

Cheers,
Kev
