[real talk] Studying for the MCAT during a gap year
Warning: There is no bullshit within this text. Please get the hell out if you can’t handle the brutal truth.
If any of you have clicked on the About Me link on the desktop version of tumblr, you know that I’m one of many gap year pre-medical students. Some of you may have caught on here and on Instagram that my boyfriend and I studied for the MCAT together. We each had different strengths and weaknesses and though we developed a study schedule together, we employed slightly different strategies to review the content.
As it were, Jake and I were the perfect examples of two major types of gap year students. Most of you reading this will fall into one of these categories with slight variations. Jake represents the Post-Baccalaureate Program Gap Year Student and I represent the Full-time Employee Gap Year Student. It was interesting to observe the differences between our study habits for the MCAT due to our life situations at the time. Jake worked on an as-needed basis in the lab but opted to take six weeks off from mid-April to the end of May. Because we knew when he would start working full-time again, we scheduled our exam for June 1, the last Friday of his extended vacation. We could have taken it the following day, but my college roommate was getting married and it was not a wedding I wanted to miss.
Under the cut, I will highlight the advantages and disadvantages to each gap year student-type as well as our generalized study schedule and the resources we found most helpful.
First, the Post-Baccalaureate Student.
Advantages
You have a set daytime schedule, leaving plenty of evening time to devote to your own pursuits (i.e. studying for the MCAT).
If you time it right, you may find it easier in between program exams, projects, presentations, and finals because it is mostly content review rather than learning new material
You’re already studying for something related to the MCAT so it’s second nature to review things.
Disadvantages
Depending on the demands of your program, you might actually find it harder to study for another exam in between the ones you have to take plus any other graduation requirements.
You’re probably broke and sobbing over having to shell out $330 to take the damn thing in the first place.
And now, the Full-time Employee.
Advantages
You have a set work schedule provided weeks in advance, making it easier to block out time to study.
Depending on the job you have, you might be able do study during downtimes.
You have money to pay for the test and any study materials you want.
Disadvantages
You might not actually have time to study during work, especially if you work odd hours and can’t take advantage of any free online prep seminars.
Let’s be real, you might be broke paying back all your student loans anyways.
Our Study Schedule and Materials
We blocked out three months to study for the exam and shared all of our study materials between us. In the few hours between when Jake finished up his internship or classes for the day and when I had to leave for work that evening, we sat in the library or my apartment and religiously read Examcrackers and did practice questions.
There were more than a few moments when we got into heated debates over how a specific scientific concept worked or what the answer to a question should be, but the great thing about our relationship is being able to move past those petty disagreements and not hold grudges (though it did take me an hour to stop being petty over being grossly misunderstood or partially correct).
At first, we collaborated over making Anki flashcards on each Examcrackers book but that proved to be way too time consuming. I already had handwritten notes over half of the material from last year’s attempt and I spent the next month and a half continuing to write notes as I read. That too proved to be way more time consuming and the effort was probably not worth it in the end but it did make a portable reference for me to carry around in my backpack.
When we were a month out, the panic set in and we started scrambling for practice tests. Realistically, we should have started out by taking a practice exam and feeling foolish at our low scores and then rejoicing at how high those scores rose over three months. But you live and learn.
Around this same time, Jake found a set of Anki flashcards someone else had kindly put out on reddit from the Kaplan books. I bought the mobile app, added Jake to my family so he could download it on his iPad, and we added the decks in. Some decks are much larger than others and took more time to go through. Honestly, the repetition helped me retain so much more material and I wished that I had started with these decks instead of wasting time trying to make my own. The guy who made the decks also wrote a more detailed study guide and suggested study schedule.
We took the free Princeton Full-length practice exam and one of the shortened free Kaplan exams. I bought the Barron’s study book and took both of the computerized tests. Jake also purchased two of the official AAMC practice tests. Of all the tests we took, the AAMC practice tests were the closest to what we actually scored, and the Barron’s was a close second for me.
In the end, fellow gap years, it didn’t matter which type of student we were. What mattered the most was how much time we were able to devote to studying. Both of us sacrificed a lot to buckle down and take this test but in the end, Jake put more time into studying than I did, and it paid off. He scored a 511, higher than any practice test he took, while studying for eleven finals, one board exam, and traveling to the Caribbean for vacation. On the other hand, I scored a 503 working four nights a week during the worst respiratory season I have ever seen, spending Friday sleeping very little, and staying up way too long between Monday and Tuesday. Time was not something I had a lot of in large blocks to take a four--or seven--hour practice exam, but I made the best of it by taking untimed tests and going through flashcards on my phone.
Do you take the MCAT? That’s entirely up to you. Time management is crucial so unless you’ve got the dedication to make it work, then don’t spend your money on practice tests, study materials, or registering for the exam at all.

Hi how's med school journey going? Q: what's your opinion on kaplan or princeton? Or mcat review materials in general?
Hi Anon! I don’t know how long this has been sitting in my inbox because I’ve been using mobile almost exclusively for the last four months and it’s terrible about notifying me of messages. I apologize for the late reply!My journey has been... interesting to say the least. I’ve got a lot of challenges ahead, as I’ve taken a gap period and my grades/scores/experiences are not exactly orthodox. That’s not to say that I’m working on improving the areas I can with the limitations I have from working full-time during the night shift! It only means my journey will be exactly what I hoped it would be: unique. If you’re ever curious about where I am in the process, follow my studyblr: @a-jar-of-paper-stars. I try to post regularly and I’m now tracking the tag lizzy-study!And now, for the question about MCAT books. I am by no means an expert but I have used a few systems. These are my own personal opinion based on my personal experience using them. 1) Princeton Review: I’ll be honest, I never used them hahaha. But I’ve heard nothing but good things about all of their exam prep materials so if you’ve got the money to spend on all the books, go for it!
I did buy a book published by them about writing essays specifically for medical school applications. It was filled with wonderful examples of both personal statements and secondary application essays along with medicine-specific writing advice to help you write your own. It was literally my Bible last application cycle.
2) Kaplan: Okay, here goes--I love the Kaplan books. I love the fun asides to help make reviewing not so monotonous, I love the high-yield questions, I love the flashcards, and I lovelovelove the six-page quick review sheet they give you.
I hate the fact that it costs $2500 for the online prep class + all materials.
Personally, I think I would have gotten more out of the prep class if I had taken all my pre-reqs beforehand. At the time, I hadn’t even taken Physics II, Organic Chemistry I+II+lab, or Genetics. It made paying attention during an online class extremely difficult because it was practically foreign to me. Additionally, I didn’t test until a year after I had finished the class, so what was the point of it anyways?
My co-worker self-studied from the books and he’s done pretty well on his practice exam. I self-studied from the books the second time I took the MCAT in 2014 (when they did away with the two writing essays but hadn’t incorporated psych, sociology, and biochem yet) and raised my biological sciences score significantly from my first attempt in 2012. Kaplan works--if you’ve got the discipline to see it through to the very end.
3) Barron’s: I bought this book when I was preparing to take the new 2015 MCAT and was super broke. For $50, it was the best deal I could have ever gotten. It had every subject in one volume, two paper practice exams, and two more computer practice exams in the included CD.
I hated the fact that it read exactly like every single one of my college textbooks--dry and uninteresting.
4) Examcrackers: When my boyfriend found out I was advised to retake the MCAT and aim for a higher score, he practically shoved his book set at me and forced me to use them instead. I love how concise they are--after two science degrees, all I really needed was a refresher in the things I’ve forgotten over time. They’re filled with fun asides and mnemonics like the Kaplan books and has lots of practice questions like the Barron’s book. Also, each book is incredibly slim and the books constantly reference material presented in other subjects, allowing you to tie concepts together and retain the information better.
What I dislike about Examcrackers is this unicorn-like class they keep mentioning in all the books... like what the hell am I supposedly missing? Also, there is a particular order one should read the books, but I have yet to discover what that is since I just finished the Verbal Reasoning text and it appears that I should have read it first...Each system has their own strengths and weaknesses but it really will depend on what will work for you. With my current hectic schedule, Examcrakers has been my savior for this upcoming MCAT but in the past, Kaplan was definitely my go-to. I wish you the best of luck, Anon, and hope your journey to med school is much smoother than mine!

Altius Section Test
I’m sad :( I got a 123. And on the Gold Standard I also got a 123...so I am worried now. I definitely need to get out of my comfort zone and do more practice with section tests..and I will. I’ll be working hard to achieve that 125...this is hard. But I definitely have time. I can do this. Just need to give it my all...cause I know that I dread it so much while I’m taking it...and I’m hoping the more practice the better. Checked reddit and it’s not representative either...so I just need to keep going. There’s a lot of uncertainty with my CARS score unfortunately (maybe the last two exams will serve as indicators for me because I scored 124 last time...so I need to keep going.
canon - rule
I think I got stressed out by the inference question...but always remember. To not pick answer choices that are too strong!
statist - an advocate of a political system in which the state has substantial centralized control over social and economic affairs.
formalist -a person who adheres excessively to prescribed forms.
Need to work on understanding the harder passages...
appropriate - seize
Realism, sometimes called naturalism, in the arts is generally the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding artistic conventions, or implausible, exotic, and supernatural elements.
lapse - decline
oblivion - unconsciousness
axiom - principle
Main idea
Main idea
Main idea. Don’t let your emotions rule you.
neoliberalism - a modified form of liberalism tending to favor free-market capitalism.
apartheid - (in South Africa) a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race
decipher - interpret
Remember to pick an answer that is clear. Can’t add logic...forever crying..
quixotic - unrealistic
I really need to work on my stamina and making sure I concentrate fully on each passage. It’s hard. Really hard. But I need to be drained by the end of it. Push. Push. Push.
amend - revise
redound - rebound -_-
Be careful with answer choices that may look like they are expressing a main idea...but are not.
occult - supernatural
alchemy - magic
beguiling - charming, in a deceptive way
incongruent - incompatible
reverence - admiration
Also, I missed five questions on the last passage. I was running out of time. Need to be wary of this and make sure I keep my cool even when crunched on time. I remember feeling like this while taking AAMC #4...but I’ll be working on my timing more now. I’m getting better with understanding a passage untimed but...ya girl needs to set a time limit so this doesn’t happen on test day.
CHANGES
10 minute limit on CARS passages from now on. I’ll be trying AAMC’s old verbal passages with JackWestin...and doing qpacks daily. I’ll also try JackWestin’s full lengths...I wish there was a known way for me to improve but this is all trial and error. I’m just going to give it my all and I’m hoping I’ll be more motivated once my gums are better. And I’ll be reading in bed until I fall asleep lol. Need to take this seriously like I’m that Harvard professor. (And 5 second breathing exercise before each passage like Examcrackers suggests...
Just need to hustle for a month...and I’ll be free.

These aren’t notes but we thought this post could be extremely helpful to someone. 😇 see below. #jumpnotes if you believe that being a student is a lot of hard work and would like to be paid for all the work you put in. We are launching a platform to help you guys do just that. 😇coming soon. Get paid for being a student with jumpnotes. @myscrubslife (@get_repost) ・・・ I repeatedly get asked what books I use to study for the mcat and any recommendations I have so here's the answer! 👇🏼 DISCLAIMER: I am self-studying for my exam and that is solely due to personal reasons! I have heard good/bad things about the different courses but I ultimately think it is up to personal preference! 1. Princeton Review Book Set 2. 2015 TPR in-class workbook (got from a friend) 3. 2016 TPR in-class workbook (bought off of e-bay and I think it is better than the one from 2015) 4. Examcrackers 101 Verbal Reasoning Passages workbook 5. AAMC flash cards 6. Kaplan book set (not pictured because I have access to them on my computer) 7. All of the online AAMC practice material , which I highly recommend! As for my view on the book sets from all of the different companies: I prefer TPR over Kaplan because the explanations are much more detailed and comprehensive. Kaplan is great for people who like "straight to the point" and brief explanations. The most positive reviews that I have heard from friends are about The Berkeley Review book set because they have a bunch of practice passages embedded within each chapter following the concepts. If you guys have any questions, don't hesitate to email/DM me! 📚 #study #studygram #estudogram #estudaquepassa #studying #concursos #studylove #medicina #medicinaporamor #medlove #médico #medstudent #medschool #medlife #odontologia #odonto #descomplica #descomplicaaovivo #bucomaxilofacial #vestibular #papelariapersonalizada #papelaria #plannernerd #planner #studyblr #college #collegelife #saturdaynight
