<p>How tough is 153A over summer? Usually Nakamoto teaches it I think.
I was considering doing 153A with MCAT course from Berkeley Review but I’ve heard both are really tough and I’ll get really burnt out. Does that sound like torture???</p>

<p>The idea of MCAT during summer sounds really appealing and I just wanna get the test over with. I could wait to take 153A with a better professor, like Tienson but for some reason I also thought that would be easier during summer.</p>

<p>My original plan was to study on my own during summer and then take a class during fall but I’m re-thinking that…</p>

<p>Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You should just do what you think is best for you. Everyone works differently so I can’t really give you advice.</p>

<p>I’ll tell you what I did. I took 153a in the Spring (with Nelson…) and then took the entire summer to study for the MCAT. I think taking 153a with a very difficult teacher helped prepare me for the MCAT a ton. I studied on my own and worked very hard throughout the Summer and I can’t imagine doing it while taking classes. Summer classes ARE generally easier, but they also move at a much faster pace.</p>
