I recommend when creating a study schedule to start a little on the conservative side. It is easy and natural to be optimistic about how much work you can get done in a day, but remember you also need time for ample sleep, exercise, social activities, and life chores. It is important when creating your MCAT study schedule, to be honest with yourself. If you’re working or still in school, this may only be a few hours per day, or if you’re taking time off to study for the MCAT, you might be able to study 8+ plus per day. First, figure out how many weeks you have until your MCAT and how much you can study per day. Let’s start by talking about the units in Khan Academy and how to divide up videos onto a schedule to which you can stay adherent and not be too overwhelmed with having to watch hours of videos per day. The Khan Academy MCAT prep units cover a great portion of the content seen on the MCAT, and their video format is often preferable to students who learn better by listening and watching lectures rather than reading textbooks. At the end of every subtopic, there are practice questions to test learning and retention. The content units are divided up by topic, with each unit containing subtopics with short videos overviewing important high yield content. Khan Academy provides practice passages for each section of the MCAT: Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS), Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems, Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems, and Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behaviors. The units encompass the content review portion of Khan Academy while the passages are akin to those you might find in practice exams or question banks. The free MCAT material provided by Khan Academy is split up into practice passages and units. What Kinds of Khan Academy MCAT Prep Materials Can You Expect to Find? In this post, we’ll be discussing how to set up a study schedule to use Khan Academy for MCAT prep.

Khan Academy MCAT materials encompass both content review and practice questions, making it one of the most comprehensive and one of the best free MCAT resources that certainly shouldn’t be overlooked when deciding which MCAT prep resources to use.
