COVID-19 UPDATE

Based on the advice of public health officials and our own concerns about the well-being of students and instructors, we’ve decided to move everything to the safety of online course delivery.

It was a difficult decision but we believe it is the responsible thing to do amid a resurgent pandemic with proliferating variants of concern.

The Best MCAT Prep Course is Personalized

The MCAT is standardized, computerized, and utterly impersonal. But you’re not! You can’t just download the (111-page) MCAT syllabus and instantly know everything you need to get a winning MCAT score. If you could, there wouldn’t be MCAT preparation courses. There would be one website with all the material and no shortage of doctors.

Personalized MCAT Study Plans

Many MCAT preparation courses offer algorithmically generated schedules. Computer assistance can be useful, but it should only be a starting point. Prep101 offers a personalized and adjustable schedule; your personal MCAT coach meets with you to make your schedule match your personal circumstances and goals.

And it doesn’t stop there. The more you learn, the more you’ll understand what you need to learn next. And there are some things you simply can’t predict, like time lost to sickness, or sudden family visits. Your MCAT coach will help you adjust your MCAT study plan so you’ll be ready for anything.

The Personal Touch from MCAT Practice to Medical Practice

The human connection is essential in medicine. Patients need an intelligent decision-maker to help them make sense of their own situations. A medical professional doesn’t walk up to a new patient and say “Okay, we’ll start with ‘a’ for ankles and work our way up from there.” They work with the patient to determine what the problems are. They don’t waste time on things the patient doesn’t need. Proper MCAT practice works the same way. Prep101 can help you find the fastest path toward MCAT success.

Personalized MCAT Breakdown

When you’re worried about how to prepare for the MCAT, it’s easy to panic and pour hours into anything that feels like work. That stress can lead you astray, pushing you to spend quality time on subjects you comprehend well, avoiding topics you’ve decided you “don’t get”. That’s the scenic route to MCAT disaster.

Your personal MCAT coach offers external feedback, reviewing your progress and pointing out where you can make the most improvement to your MCAT score. External feedback from an expert helps target where your work will do the most good, helping you to avoid wasted weeks studying the wrong topics. Your Prep101 MCAT coach knows what each med school is looking for, and where you’ll need to work to achieve your goals.

Personalized MCAT Question Assistance

Scoring in the highest MCAT percentiles means laser-targeting your weaknesses and solving problems you’re struggling with. But by definition, these are the subjects you’re worst at! Those problems will take the longest to solve, soaking up your MCAT study time and reducing your rate of progress. This is where direct personal assistance comes into play.

Being able to contact your MCAT instructors with specific questions is the fastest way to solve those awkward questions which aren’t quite covered by the standard textbooks. Whether you prefer the precision of emailed questions, or the immediate and vibrant discussion of live Zoom sessions, Prep101 MCAT instructors give you the personal help you need.

Personal MCAT Breakdown Analytics

Prep101 also includes analytics and diagnostics to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Knowing “I usually score poorly in CARS” isn’t that useful. Lots of people have trouble with the MCAT Critical Analysis and Reasoning Section! But a system that can see exactly which types of CARS questions give you trouble, then give you more to practice, is the solution. Prep101’s huge archive of MCAT practice questions means there’s always more material to practice where you’re weakest.

Instructors Approved by Real Students

At Prep101, the most important people are the students. That’s why they review all our instructors, who are hired by real students at competitive auditions. Our MCAT instructors are here to teach because they’ve already proved they can, and with ongoing personal evaluations and feedback with every course, they’re always working to improve their ability to help you better.

We are the only prep company to post complete student evaluation metrics for all of our instructors. These are not cherry-picked anecdotes; they’re unfiltered, hard numbers. You deserve to know who you’ll be working with.

Your Personal MCAT Goal

At Prep101, we understand that every student’s MCAT journey is unique. That’s why we have an Unlimited Free Retake Policy. This policy allows you to retake the course as many times as needed, absolutely free of charge. We are committed to your success, recognizing that achieving mastery over the MCAT requires time, practice, and the opportunity to revisit challenging topics.

Whether you need extra reinforcement in organic chemistry, want to sharpen your critical analysis and reasoning skills, or simply desire more practice with full-length exams, Prep101’s Unlimited Free Retake Policy empowers you to tailor your MCAT preparation to your specific needs. No longer will you feel limited by a strict timeline or the fear of missing out on valuable course material. With Prep101, you have the freedom to revisit lectures, access study resources, and refine your skills until you feel confident in your ability to tackle the MCAT.
