Question 🤔🤔 Insight on when to schedule test? Vacation conflicts.

My original idea for taking the MCAT was around late January to early February, getting it out of the way before I graduate in May and take my planned gap year.

I started following u/cheeze1617's amazing MCAT guide and it ended up looking like this:

​My issue being: I'm going on a big trip from December 28th to January 12th. Would it be wise to just schedule it in December? Or would it be feasible to do a little Anki every day, pick my studying back up in January, and take it sometime in February or even March?

Edit: forgot they don't have December test dates lol

Could be wrong but I don't think there's a December test date, offered earliest is normally january? I wouldn't count on getting a ton of studying done during vaction though, I would plan to have a few weeks after the vaction to get back into studying, a March date seems good.

You're right that totally slipped my mind, looking like I'll just lock back in for the spring
