Probably, but it depends on how well you knew your stuff. Start yourself off with a nice practice test this will help you when you're studying.

Yes, you probably have plenty of time. However, this is dependent on your background (Did you just complete your pre-med courses?) Definitely take a practice test first to identify your weak areas. That way you can adequately prepare for your trouble areas, and go back over your stronger topics if you have time. Realistically though, if you stick with a set schedule, you should have no problem.

I think two months is enough, but barely. It depends on where you are, where you need to be, and how hard you are going to work.

Judge where you are with a practice test, like someone said. Study your butt off. Register like you're going to take it. Study, study, study. Take a practice test the weekend before, score it, and if it's not where you want it to be follow the procedures to get a refund, even if it's partial. No point in throwing a bad score into your record when you can just take it in April.

most definatly! But you need to start now because by the time you understand enough the way you need to you need to start practicing. Good luck

2 months will be enough if you do atleast 6 hours a day of studying and practicing and spend your weekends doing practice tests

10 months? LOL

This April it had been almost 10 years for me

Flashcards, lots and lots of flashcards. I carried them everywhere.

35 is not too bad, it's only top 5% of all the testers...

It comes back surprisingly quick, the better you knew it originally the easier it comes. Don't fret, just open the book and dive in.

Take it from me, if you are a good test taker, 2 months is enough (assuming you study hard everyday). However, if you're not a good test taker, then a year is more realistic.

They should mail it to your address. Make sure they have the right address on file. They had the wrong one (my parents' address) on file for me before and so it took forever to get it to me.

Yeah, it sure as hell better be. I'm starting June 10th...yikes! I think it'll be okay because I'll have JUST finished all the prereqs and am planning a 9hr/day 6 days/wk schedule.
