has anyone here taken MCAT?
how did you prepare for it, and would you recommend self study, KAPLAN, or TPR?
when is the best time to take MCAT, April or August?
I am graduating next yr and would like to start preparing for MCAT from now on, but some ppl think it would get really boring and would fry my brain if I studied for MCAT for one year. Any idea?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. 
which MCAT are you talking about yar ?
Pakistani ya americaN ??
MCAT for medical colleges of Punjab is going to be held on 21September, 2003
studing one year for MCAT :o Its too much yar! 3 months would do in Pakistan..that is..right after intermediate exams!
I was talking about American MCAT!!!
MCAT takes place two times during the year, that is April 26 and August 16.
ummm just 3 months, probably for genius students, not for me. I was actually looking forward for suggesting Kaplan or TPR (The Princeton Review).
Thanx :)
is there such a hing as the Pakistani MCAT - as opposed to the ETS/AAMC standardized MCAT ??
NEWayz, I haven't done the MCAT myself but am gonna give you my general opinion on Princeton and Kaplan.
If you're opting for an instructor-led course, you're better off with Kaplan, but if you want self-study guides, Princeton is good enough too.
The reason being that most instructors at Kaplan tend to be professional freshmen who've recently experienced the standardized tests on a first-hand basis... whereas those at Princeton apply a common "standardized testing" treatise to all exams be it GMAT, GRE or the MCATs.
I've worked at Kaplan as a GMAT instructor, so am telling you from whatever I've come to know, but then again, being an ex-employee, my opinion might be biased :-)
Ciao.
nothing standardized yar
its like key admission test ko yahan MCAT kahtey hein..thats all
Thank you Umar Talib for your input. I was also considering Kaplan for next summer n obviously I will prefer someone personally who had went through testing rather than some books that are always there with some slight changes in new edition. Thanx
mmmmmm cat. sounds like a chinese dish to me.
Beware of this dish yar
can give u diarrhoea anytime :P
