My son brought it up again today and is now thinking of taking the test in October after studying all summer. He will have taken all of the prerequisites except for one semester of a lab for physics. My question is how much would upper level science classes help with the current exam. (biochem, genetics, cell molecular bio)? Should he take those classes next fall as a junior and then take the exam in January (with less time for concentrated MCAT studying)? Thanks so much for any additional insight.
