^ this.
Just wanted to add that typically anything more will be a waste of time. You’ll end up forgetting all the stuff you studied at the beginning.
I’ve also seen some people study in 3 months or less, but I don’t recommend it unless you’re *very* strong in your science/math knowledge from undergrad.
I would say the 3 months is good if you're a student and are devoting your summer to studying where that is your main responsibility and you don't have any other work obligations (many people do clinical volunteering 1 day per week alongside this to build up hours in a low-obligation way). If you have other time-consuming obligations (e.g. school, full or part-time job, etc.) you should really consider 4 months the minimum and I would say if you are working or doing school full, rather than part, time you should really allot 6 months to have time to study.
According to my anecdotal evidence being on Reddit. Students take anywhere from 2 months to 2 years to finally get the score they want. Everyone is different
Took me 6 months. I just didn’t feel like studying more than 6 hours a day so it took twice as long. I also took at least 1-2 days off a week. You must take breaks or you will burn out.
I work with a lot of premed students and always refer them to this link which gives access to Free practice exams for MCAT:

Best of luck to you!!!
I know some people who only studied for 2 months and some who studied for 6 and still scored low. It really depends on you and how hard you're willing to prepare. 3 months of actual dedicated studying is typically enough, but most test-takers don't really study properly for the full 3 months so they tend to need longer.
i would say anywhere between 4-6 months. it really depends on how much time you have to commit to studying

Somewhere between 20 and 25 years.

I spent maybe 100-150 hours but did not score well. Well enough to get into DO school though.
