MDCAT in 3 Months: A Realistic Week-by-Week Study Plan
Three months is enough time to crack MDCAT — if you use them wisely. This week-by-week plan tells you exactly what to study and when.
Three months — 12 weeks — is a very manageable window if you plan it correctly.
Before You Start: Set Your Baseline
On day one, sit a full past paper under timed conditions. Score it honestly. This baseline tells you where you actually stand.
Weeks 1–2: Biology Foundation
- Cover 2 chapters per day from your FSc Biology textbooks
- After each chapter, immediately do 30 MCQs in Tutor Mode
- Keep a "weak topics" notebook — write every wrong concept in your own words
- End of week 2: Biology-only timed test (80 questions, 70 minutes)
Weeks 3–4: Chemistry Foundation
- Week 3: Inorganic and physical chemistry
- Week 4: Organic chemistry — a full week on its own. Write every reaction type on cards.
- Daily MCQ target: 40 Chemistry MCQs minimum
Weeks 5–6: Physics and English
- Week 5: Physics — one topic per day, 30 MCQs per topic
- Week 6: English — 3 days vocabulary, 2 days grammar, 1 day comprehension, 1 day reasoning
- End of week 6: full past paper (should be 10–15% higher than baseline)
Weeks 7–8: Subject-Wise MCQ Drilling
- Morning: 60 Biology MCQs in Timed Mode
- Afternoon: 60 Chemistry MCQs in Timed Mode
- Evening: 30 Physics + 20 English MCQs
- Review every wrong answer before sleeping — non-negotiable
Weeks 9–10: Full Mock Exams
- Mon/Wed/Fri: full 200-question paper (3.5 hours, no interruptions)
- Tue/Thu/Sat: review every wrong answer in detail
- Target: average mock score reach 160/200 by end of week 10
Week 11: Targeted Weak-Area Revision
Use HighYield Analytics to find your 3–5 lowest-accuracy topics. Spend the entire week drilling those — 50–100 MCQs per topic. No new material.
Week 12: Light Review and Mental Preparation
- 30–40 MCQs on your strongest subjects to stay sharp
- Evening: review weak topics notebook
- Two days before exam: no MCQs. Rest only.
- Night before: sleep 8 hours.
