Benefits
Stay Consistent
MCAT prep takes 300-500 hours over months. BuckleTime sessions help you show up daily instead of cramming last minute. Consistency beats intensity for test prep.
Beat Pre-Med Stress
Studying alone amplifies anxiety. Working alongside other pre-meds tackling the same beast reminds you that everyone struggles – you're not uniquely behind.

Wonder if you've studied enough? Your cumulative BuckleTime hours give concrete proof of preparation when test anxiety says you haven't done enough work.
Study Anytime
Balancing MCAT prep with classes, work, and life? The study room never closes. Drop in before class, between shifts, or during late-night cram sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What MCAT prep materials work with BuckleTime?
Any study method: AAMC materials, Kaplan, Princeton Review, UWorld, Anki cards, practice exams, content review. BuckleTime provides accountability regardless of your prep strategy.
Can I take practice exams in this room?
Yes! Many students use BuckleTime for timed practice sections or full-length exams. The session timer helps simulate test-day conditions and keeps you accountable to finishing.
How many hours should I study per session?
That's personal. Some do 25-minute Pomodoros, others prefer 90-minute deep work blocks. Most MCAT studiers find 50-90 minute sessions hit the sweet spot between intensity and sustainability.
Is this better than in-person study groups?
Different tools for different needs. In-person study groups are great for discussing concepts. BuckleTime is better for quiet, focused practice – the grinding work of memorization and practice questions.
What if my test date is only weeks away?
BuckleTime works for all prep stages, including crunch time. The accountability helps you maximize your remaining study hours and avoid the panic-procrastination cycle.
