Hi there, I highly recommend first off planning early as to when you want to take it. make sure you know the dates of the exam and compare them to when your timeline is for applying to medical school. Give yourself time after your desired exam date not only to get your score back (which usually takes several weeks) as well as to potentially take the exam 1 maybe even 2 more times if you want/need to get a better score.
I would recommend that you look into study groups, see if other people you know want to study together or talk to recent grads who have studied and been successful in their scores. See if those people joined any study groups, had advice pro/cons about study materials or formalized prep test courses. I would also just in general self reflect on your personal study and learning style, look into review courses (usually there are both online and in person courses but consider the time/money of these courses and if they fit your time/learning style).
I hope this helps!

Absolutely, I would suggest considering Kaplan for your MCAT preparation. It's a challenging exam, but remember, it's a significant step towards your dream of entering medical school. Your GPA, MCAT score, personal statement, and the potential interview are crucial elements in your admission process. So, keep pushing forward, and remember, every step you take brings you closer to achieving your goal.
