Our prep course delivers 138 hours of intense live instruction, which includes 44 Lessons covering basic science. We offer 32 in-class exams and 23 after-class practice sets. Plus, there’s 28 workshops that will help you master the skills and strategies you’ll need for the MCATs unique passage-based questions.

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 1-hour lecture, followed by a 30-minutes passage-based in-class exam and a 30-minute review of the in-class exam. After class, we offer a practice set of online 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.

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