Hey sweeties!
Long time, no hear, and that’s because I was on a vacation, where I unfortunately, didn’t have access to Internet. On the other hand, though, it gave me a wonderful opportunity to think of some new topics to address, and this one is going to be about my study plans for this summer.
I recently purchased a Kaplan MCAT review series (7 books) and I am going to read everything, except for the Verbal Reasoning, Biochemistry, and Organic Chemistry. The reason for doing that, is because I want to prepare myself for the 1st year of university, which covers all subjects I will study from my MCAT books this summer (Biology, General Chemistry, Behavioural Sciences and Physics with Math). Biochem, Orgo, and VR will be covered a little more in depth in my 2nd year. So, my current strategy, is just to skim through the material 1 chapter (some days, more) per day, and answer all the free-standing questions at the end of the chapter. That way, I will get used to the type and amount of material taught, as well as the questions asked.
A month before starting the uni, I hope to review my grade 12 material on the subjects listed above, and I will undoubtedly bring those binders with me to my apartment in Hamilton. I don’t quite know, however, whether bringing them with me will help me in any way, but it’s better to be over-prepared, than underprepared.
In addition to that, I printed a 2.5-inch binder full of ethical scenarios, Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) questions, and other material which will help me prepare for the CASPer test while applying to MedSchool. The reason why I started learning that so early, is because I might potentially not have enough time while in university to study that while studying for other subjects. So, from now on, I’m aiming to study the Code of Ethics, Canada Health Act, etc. each summer to improve my comprehension on diverse ethical and controversial concepts.
Hopefully, this summer is not going to end up being very academically intense for me, since I need to relax before actually beginning my pre-med and medical journey in September :)
