Kaplan PCAT |
The Competition* |
|
| Course Structure | ||
|---|---|---|
Class Schedule |
14 live, guided sessions designed to sequentially build content mastery and test taking skills | Often no live classes or guided instruction - students are left to create their own study schedule |
Study Resources |
Comprehensive Review Notes with more than 1,250 pages covering all PCAT subjects | Resources typically focus only on science and math review, neglecting the Verbal Ability and Writing sections |
| Instruction | ||
Teacher Qualifications |
Score at or above the 90th percentile on the exam that they teach | The few other companies that use instructors do not require them to take the PCAT, much less meet a score qualification threshold |
Test Strategy |
Strategies for every level of the exam to help you maximize your score | Most courses offer only content review without teaching strategies specific to the PCAT |
| Practice | ||
Realism |
Full library of 1,600+ questions in the new, computer-based test (CBT) format* | Few other companies have resources to simulate the new CBT PCAT |
Variety |
A full host of practice resources, including flashcards, workshops, quizzes, reinforcement tests, and full-length exams | Usually limited to a single question bank and/or chapter-based questions |
| Student Service | ||
Scheduling |
A variety of schedules and locations throughout the nation designed to meet your scheduling and location needs | No other nation-wide live course means classes are rare and schedules are limited |
Guarantee |
Higher score guaranteed or your money back* | Most companies offer no guarantee |
