When is the best time to begin taking your MCATs?

I have heard from some that you should begin as early as your first semester of your sophomore year to get a feel for the tests. On the other hand, others say you should wait until you junior year, second semester. Please help! #medicine

Richard’s Answer

Study for the MCAT About 2 years before you want to apply to medical school. So you could devote the summer between sophomore and junior year to MCAT. Then if you take the MCAT at the end of the summer you can have a chance to retake if you are not satisfied with your score. Then apply to med school during the summer between junior and senior year.

Sanaz’s Answer

Hmm this question is always one that is challenging to answer because you don't want to have too many scores on file. If you want to start medical school exactly after you finish undergrad without a gap year then the best time to take the MCAT is summer between sophmore and junior year. Applications would be submitted may of your junior year so this gives you leeway in case you need to retake the test. hope this helps!
