What Our Students Are Saying

  • Mayank N.

    517

    I really enjoyed the 515+ Course because it consisted of an in-depth review of high-yield content and strategies to tackle challenging topics and passages. Most importantly, the live class format provided students with the opportunity to ask questions, which were always superbly answered. My teachers taught me that mistakes are not only necessary, but they are good for you! If you make enough mistakes during the prep, you won’t make them on test day. My coach taught me to approach the entire MCAT process with an optimistic mindset. Understanding that everyone moves at their own pace can help take some of the pressure off the prep process.

Here’s What We’ll Cover

  • Strategy lessons walk you through the content, strategies, and skills you’ll need to tackle everything the MCAT exam has to throw at you. You’ll cover the best strategies for reading MCAT passages, answering MCAT questions, managing the clock, and applying MCAT content, all led by a team of expert instructors. 
  • Exclusive live lessons show you how the MCAT exam tests key content, and how to identify the gaps in your knowledge so you are fully prepared for test day.
  • From amino acids to zygotes, the course builds your foundation for MCAT success with review of need-to-know concepts in biochemistry, biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, psychology, and sociology.
  • The most important content is covered in Content Refresher assignments. Each assignment includes videos and practice—and a placement quiz at the beginning to let you test out of spending time on material you already know.
  • For deeper dives into the content—or for those who prefer textbooks—you’ll receive our best-selling 7-Book Subject Review series with over 3,000 pages of full-color content complete with concept checks, worked examples, mnemonics,  and more!
  • Strategy lessons go deep on each of the four skills (Skills 1–4) outlined by the AAMC®, the MCAT test maker. These class sessions progressively build the critical thinking skills necessary to master the most challenging MCAT passages and questions.
  • Skill 1 questions are all about scientific knowledge. We'll teach you how to answer these questions even when familiar content is presented in novel ways or when questions are complicated by a passage.
  • Skill 2 questions require you to reason with the content. We'll show you how to recall relevant scientific concepts with limited clues. You'll also learn to formulate predictions and explanations about scientific observations and phenomena.
  • Skill 3 questions focus on experimental design. We'll show you how to deconstruct experiment-based passages by identifying the key components that are most frequently tested.
  • Skill 4 questions are all about data. We'll explore the various presentations of data (graphs, tables, etc.) and teach you the math skills necessary to form valid conclusions.
  • You'll get thorough instruction on the powerful but flexible Kaplan strategy for CARS passages.
  • Live lessons help you build your CARS strategy from the ground up, from foundational skills to passage and question analysis to thorough practice test review.
  • In-depth analysis and guidance for working through every CARS question type.
  • Strategies for effective prioritization of passages and questions.
  • Step-by-step explanations for over 500 Qbank CARS questions—and explanations for every wrong answer.
  • Test-like practice in the same computer interface as the actual MCAT exam.
  • Tips on how to use the computer-based testing tools most efficiently.
  • Strategies for keeping your cool and staying on track during your test.
  • Guidance on how to best use your study time, including how to effectively review your practice tests.
