2.6) Should I take a review course?

That depends. If you are overwhelmed by the thought of MCAT review,
and if you like structure and learn well in a classroom environment,
then a review course is not a bad idea. When used properly, review
courses are an expensive, effective way to prepare for the MCAT.
They offer structured, comprehensive review, teacher-student
interaction, numerous practice tests and test- taking strategies,
and comprehensive, well-written review materials. However, do not
enroll in a review course just for the materials. Equally good
materials (such as the Kaplan Comprehensive Review, cf. 2.5) may be
purchased in the bookstore for a whole lot less money.
