I've always done well on standardized testing, but never before have I spent time to prepare for them.

What did you do to prep for the MCAT, and how well did you do? Is comparing the test to the SAT/ACT a fair comparision? (like, how would doing well on SAT/ACT correlate to doing well on MCAT)

No. SAT is nothing like the MCAT. I enrolled in a MCAT class (princeton review) so pretty much did their study plan and then just put in a lot of hours, basically a month of 3-5 hours of work/day everyday but sunday, and then a month of non stop 12+ hour days. In hindsight I should have taken more practice exams. I think that is key. I got above a 30.
