MCAT Study Schedule

The Day by Day
- Give yourself 4 buffer days before beginning this schedule just in case you need them.
- Another reminder: You are supposed to take some verbal passages every day except break
days and FL days.
Day 1: BR Physics Chapter #1 + Every third practice passage of the corresponding practice
passages for this chapter (i.e. go through 1, 4, 7, 10 for first 1/3 and 2, 5, 8 for the second 1/3
on Day 8). 1/3 of corresponding practice passages = 1/3 from now on. Also, complete every 1/3
of the discretes each time you work through 1/3 of the passages. In other words, when you
take practice passages #1, 4, 7, 10, take discrete # 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, etc. If you have an older
version that does NOT have discretes, don't worry about it. For the questions in the chapter
reading itself, work through them as you read the chapter.
Day 2: BR Gen Chem Chapter #1 + 1/3
Day 3: BR O-Chem Chapter #1 + 1/3
Day 4: EK Biology Chapter #1 + 1/3 of the corresponding passages in the BR Bio book. Although
some of the chapters correspond well to each other, you'll probably have to jump around for
some chapters. For instance, when EK Biology's chapter focuses on cell structure and function,
work through the passages in BR Bio that deal with cell structure and function, i.e. BR Section
VI. Yes, you are doing passages in BR BIO and NOT the ones in EK Bio.
Day 5: BR Physics Chapter #2 + 1/3
Day 6: Re-read ALL of the previous week's chapters (Day 1-5). This means you re-read the
ENTIRE chapter again for both BR Physics chapters 1 & 2, BR Gen Chem chapter 1, BR O-Chem
chapter 1, and EK Bio chapter 1. Additionally, work through corresponding EK 1001 sections for
the chapters you worked through last week (Day 1-5). For instance, BR O-Chem chapter #1 goes
over Organic Structure & Bonding; hence, complete the Molecular Structure in the EK 1001 O-
Chem. The topics probably won’t match all the time, but go with the best fit. Also, only do every
third problem/passage in the EK 1001s. Lastly, complete the in-class exam for EK Bio chapter 1.
From now on, this day’s work will be abbreviated: “Re-read chapters + EK 1001 + EK Bio In-class
exam”
Day 7: Break
Day 8: Complete second 1/3 of BR passages for the previous 5 BR chapters (remember this
includes BR Bio). I’m going to shorten this to: “Complete second 1/3 of BR passages”
Day 11: EK Bio Chapter #2 + 1/3
Day 14: Break
Day 15: Re-read chapters from Days 9-13 + EK 1001 for Days 9-13 + EK Bio In-class exam
Day 16: Complete second 1/3 of BR passages
Day 21: Break
Day 23: Re-read chapters + EK 1001 + EK Bio In-class exam
Day 28: Break
Day 35: Break
Day 42: Break
Day 49: Break
Day 55: Break
Day 60: Break
Day 61: Hat Trick for 2-3 hours. For all of the following days, excluding break days, spend
about 30 minutes on the Hat Trick. If it really helps you, spend more time on it. It might be
slow at first, but you’ll get the hang of it.
Day 62: Complete last 1/3 of BR passages for ALL Chapter 1s: BR Bio Chapter 1, BR Physics
Chapter 1, BR Gen Chem Chapter 1, and BR O-chem Chapter 1.
Day 63: Complete last 1/3 of BR passages for ALL Chapter 1s
- From now on, I will abbreviate the last 1/3 of BR as 1/3. I will include the chapters to cover.
Day 64: AAMC FL #3
Day 65: Review FL per guidelines + 1/3 Chapter 2
Day 66: Review FL + 1/3 Chapter 2
Day 67: Break
Day 68: 1/3 Chapter 3
Day 69: 1/3 Chapter 3
Day 70: Break
Day 71: AAMC #4
Day 74: AAMC #5
Day 77: Break
Day 78: AAMC FL #7
Day 81: AAMC #8
Day 84: Break
