Spring break!

Well today is officially the first day of spring break! I unofficially started mine last thursday though. I only had Music and Physics, and lets be honest, Music isn't important and extremely easy and Physics....Well I just don't learn anything in lecture. The Physics teacher is great, he's the stereotypical physics professor. Crazy hair, big glasses, very lanky, and full of energy. I joked with my friend Alex (who took his class with me in Physics 1) that he was Marlowe's long lost son.

For my first day I decided to start studying for the MCAT. I got a lot of material from www.isohunt.com such as Kaplan's Premier Program, Exam Kracker's complete prep package, and even the Kaplan's teachers Edition that is used in the class room. I read the intro and it pretty much reiterated what Rishabh told me. It tests critical thinking and the key is to have CONFIDENCE. He jokingly told me that I can just cut a check of $1800 straight to him. Which is pretty much true. It's a shame how Kaplan is ripping people off. But Rishabh is the one that made a 35, so I will listen to him. Well I've been procrastinating all day, I need to get serious and hit the books...........

Argh! It's hard. I know I'm going to kill the MCAT, but I need to work hard to do so. I'm still working on my game plan. What I think i'm going to do is read the supplemental guides, courtesy of Kaplan and Exam Krackers, then do tons of practice tests! I'm thinking about taking the tests slow, looking at each individual question and answer it. If I am not sure, I will look in the textbook and reread the section on what I missed. Do that for each section of the test. And after a couple of months of doing that start taking the full length practice exams in the actual testing conditions. The biggest thing I'm worried about is the fundamentals of math that is required. Adding/Subtracting/Multiplying in scientific notation has me worried. But I figure a quick review in math will help with that. Well, it looks like it's time to get my hands dirty!
