Our prep course delivers 146 hours of live instruction, which includes 55 Lessons covering the basic science concepts on the MCAT. We also offer 44 in-class exams and 16 in-class workshops to help you master the reasoning 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 class and during the crucial weeks between the end of the prep course and test day.
Before class, students read the assigned hyperbook chapter and work through warm-up content 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, there’s online AAMC practice passages to further reinforce the topics and skills covered 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 146 hours of live instruction. That includes 55 Lessons covering the basic science. But we also devote much more time to guided practice than other MCAT prep companies.

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

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.
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 44 In-Class Exams cover only the topics you learned in the preceding Lesson from your instructor. 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 14 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, recognizing distractors and confounders, and elimination strategies.
