The Secret to a 15+ Point Increase?

It might just be our new answer explanations. They’re built-in to all our MCAT courses, and because they’re so effective, they can lead to major point increases. In fact, after prepping with us, students who put in the work have raised their MCAT scores by 15+ points on average.* Are you next?

* 15 point average only applied to students who completed 5,300+ practice questions and 600+ study activities during their program. A recent study conducted by Kaplan showed that students who completed a minimum of this work saw an average score improvement of 15 points from their first to their highest practice exam. Students who started with lower scores saw greater increases. Students who completed fewer practice questions, study activities, or who did not engage in the full program, saw lower score increases.
