Hello!
So I recently graduated this past May and originally planned to take the MCAT earlier in the summer so I could apply during this cycle, but I ended up deciding to take two gap years instead of one and will be applying next summer. I have been obligated with research commitments for the past couple months so I haven't been able to study, but for the next 7 weeks I will have nothing else to do but study for the MCAT. I have signed up for the September 9th test date, and I was just wondering if 7 weeks of full-time studying (6-8 hours) per day would be enough to get a 509+ on the MCAT? I am a little rusty on the material since I haven't seen a lot of it in a while. I have the TPR course materials and plan to use those in addition to the AAMC material. Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: So I just took a Next Step diagnostic exam (the half-length) and scored a 493. So would it be possible to get a 509 by Sept 9 or should I take it in the winter?
