Prep101 takes a more comprehensive approach. We teach you all the science on the MCAT. We also help you master the MCAT’s challenging passage-based format. And we hone your critical thinking skills. When you nail these three areas, you’ll get that higher score.

We offer 130 hours of classroom instruction – more than any other company. That includes 44 Lessons covering the basic science. But we also devote much more time to hands-on practice than other MCAT prep companies. Our 32 In-Class Exams and 28 Workshops will help you master the skills and strategies you’ll need for the MCAT’s passage-based questions.

All of this adds up to a prep course that offers more of everything you need to get a top score.

One thing that sets us apart from any other prep company is our intensive focus on the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS) section. This section is the one that gives students the most trouble – and carries a lot of weight with most medical schools. That’s why we devote more classroom hours to CARS than our
leading competitors combined.

Our expert prep instructors will train you how to map and analyze passages, dissect question stems, and attack answer choices with confidence over 32 hours of classroom time that includes 4 Lessons, 4 In-Class Exams, and 12 Workshops.

Our 32 in-class exams cover only the topics you learned in the preceding lesson. Using what you've learned directly after you've learned it is the best way to ensure that your newfound knowledge really sticks.

Our passage-based in-class exams are an excellent way to apply that knowledge, and we're the only company that provides them. After completing each one, the instructor walks you through it and shows you how to analyze the passages, dissect the question stems, and work the answer choices.

Our prep course includes 13-14 full-length computerized Practice Tests. By practicing with these exact simulations, Prep101 students will become accustomed to the timing, computer interface, interdisciplinary approach, and topics covered on the test. Students taking our prep course will be quite comfortable and confident when they sit down in front of the computer to take their own MCAT.

Our prep course also includes 23 After-Class Practice Sets with 5-10 passages to practice what you learned in class. They’re online, with the exact same interface as the MCAT. And then there's the six AAMC Question Packs and customizable Section Bank that are vital components of an effective MCAT study strategy. Produced by the AAMC, these 155 passages and 1,020 questions are the gold standard of MCAT prep resources.

One thing that really sets us apart from other prep companies is our 130 hours of classroom instruction.

Coming into class every week keeps you on schedule, and self-discipline comes more readily when you know you’ve got readings to do before you come to class. There’s also that camaraderie that comes from working on a shared problem with your fellow students. Simply put, we believe students learn best in the classroom, which is why we offer more classroom hours than anyone else.

We’re the only MCAT prep company that lets students customize their weekly schedule. We offer each of our classes on a weeknight and again on the weekend. Students can choose to attend either or both classes, depending on their weekly schedule. We sometimes have different instructors for the weeknight and weekend class too, which will give you two different perspectives on the material if you do attend both. No need to tell us in advance – simply show up to the class that suits you.

Once they’ve taken our course, students always tell us just how much this helped them manage busy summer schedules full of many different activities. No other company offers this.

One of the goals of Prep101 is to give you the confidence to do as well as you possibly can on the MCAT. After taking our prep course, if you feel you still aren’t fully prepared for this challenging test, then we encourage you to repeat the course again at no further charge – no questions asked.

Unlike other companies, there are no restrictions or qualifications – you can repeat at any time. This is a big reason why students come to us, as it gives them far more flexibility with their schedule than any of our competitors.

We know our instructors are the best, because our students choose them. We put prospective instructors through a competitive audition by having them teach a mock prep class to a room full of our former MCAT students. This really puts their teaching skills to the test. We can’t think of anyone better qualified than students to spot the best teachers so we let your peers decide who we hire.

No other prep company goes to these lengths to find the best instructors.
