I was in a similar situation to yours last year, applying to med schools and taking the MCAT the summer of (last August in fact!). Stay focused - you do have a lot of work ahead of you and a short amount of time, but from personal experience once you get that score, apply, and finally get your first acceptance, it'll all be worth it to know what you'll become a physician! GL GL! | ||

For science passages, I'm using the berkeley review series that I got over the online. (as well as for PS content review) For verbal, i'm using examkrackers 101 passages which I also got over the online. | ||
