Our in-person prep course is called Classroom Plus because of its unique mix of in-person classes on weekday mornings and live online classes on weekday afternoons. Each class is offered two times weekly and you can attend whichever one – or more – you choose. It’s totally your call.
If you somehow miss both options, we’ve still got you covered. We also post a recording of each class to make it next to impossible for you to miss a class.
Our online prep course is called Live Online Flex because it brings each live online class to you four times weekly – weekday morning, weekday afternoon, weekday evening and weeknight – for you to choose from. Join whichever class is most convenient for you, or join more than if you’d like to repeat a class.
If you somehow miss all four options, we’ve still got you covered. We also post a recording of each class to make it next to impossible for you to miss a class.

Our prep course delivers 138 hours of live instruction, which includes 44 Lessons covering the basic science concepts on the MCAT. We also offer 32 in-class exams and 14 in-class workshops to help you master the skills and strategies you’ll need for the MCATs unique passage-based questions.
Outside of class, your MCAT Coach will design a Personalized Study Plan with a day-to-day breakdown of what to study and practice outside of course hours and during the crucial weeks between the end of the prep course and test day.
We break down the MCAT into 44 lessons that our study guides cover in individual chapters. Before class, students read each chapter and work through 24 practice questions. In class, the first half is devoted to an engaging lecture covering the concepts in the before-class readings. Then, there’s a passage-based in-class exam on these same topics and a thorough instructor-led review of the in-class exam. After class, we offer even more online practice passages to further reinforce the topics and skills students learned before class and in class.
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 and reasoning skills. When you nail these three areas – knowledge, skills, strategies – you’ll get that higher score.
We offer 138 hours of live instruction – more than any other company. That includes 44 Lessons covering the basic science. But we also devote much more time to guided practice than other MCAT prep companies. Our 32 In-Class Exams and 14 Workshops led by expert prep instructors 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.
We’re the only MCAT prep company that lets students customize their weekly schedule by offering each class multiple times.
Our Classroom Plus course helps you juggle your busy schedule and make the most of prepping for the hardest test of your life with a unique mix of in-person classroom prep on weekday mornings and live online prep on weekday afternoons.

Every new student is paired with an expert MCAT Coach who will motivate you and reinforce good study and practice habits outside of class hours from the start of the prep course through to test day. Your MCAT Coach will design a Personalized Study Plan exactly tailored to your individual circumstances. They’ll consider your science background, target scores, test date and everything else happening in your life to design a day-to-day study and practice schedule that’s the absolute perfect fit for you. Thereafter, your Coach will regularly check in with you to keep you on track and fine-tune your Study Plan. No other MCAT prep company offers anything close to this level of one-on-one expert guidance as a built-in component of the prep course.
We know how crucial extra study and practice can be so that’s where our Personalized Study Plan comes in. Whatever your test date, target scores, science background and other time commitments, you’ll receive a tailor-made day-by-day study and practice schedule for when you’re not in class, and for the all-important weeks leading up to the MCAT itself.
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. After completing each In-Class Exam, the instructor walks you through it and shows you how to analyze the passages, dissect the question stems, and attack the answer choices.
Our 12 CARS workshops are devoted solely to high-yield test-taking techniques such as effective time management, mapping and analyzing passages, reasoning within and beyond the passage, simplifying question stems, and elimination strategies.
MedReels are on-demand videos available for you to watch whenever it’s most convenient for you. 444 videos clearly and concisely explain every MCAT topic. Another 166 videos provide expert guidance on strategy and technique.
Our 23 After-Class Practice Sets of 5-10 passages are used to strengthen your grasp of the topic covered in each class and how it’s presented on the MCAT. They’re online, with the exact same interface as the MCAT.
We put prospective instructors through a competitive audion by having them teach a mock prep class to a room full of our former MCAT students. 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.
