# The MCAT study week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/mcat-study-schedule/

An MCAT study week: four hours of content review from 08:00, two hours of practice passages at 14:00 on weekdays, a full-length practice test on Saturday and a review on Sunday.

## Why it works
- **Practice under test conditions.** A long test is a matter of stamina as well.
- **The review counts most:** this is where you find out why you got it wrong.
- **Training stays in,** since it helps you sleep and focus.

## Make it yours
- Working while studying? Halve the weekday blocks and allow more months.
- Use official AAMC practice materials for your full-length tests.

## Questions

**How many hours a week should I study for the MCAT?**
It depends on how long you have and where you start. This week has about 40 hours: spread it over more weeks if you work or study alongside it.
