How better prep builds better scores.
Menu
Tackle every MCAT topic and passage with confidence using our proven strategies and techniques.
Master the knowledge, skills, and strategies to maximize your scores.
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 - science knowledge, reasoning skills and strategies - you’ll get that higher score.
138 hours over 10 weeks to give you ample time to digest everything.
One thing that really sets us apart from other prep companies is our 138 hours of live instruction – more than any other company.
That includes 68 hours covering the basic science. Plus we offer 70 hours of guided practice with our expert prep instructors to hone the reasoning skills and strategies you’ll need for the MCAT’s passage-based questions.
Expert instructors walk you through 6-8 passages in every class.
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 map and analyze the passages, dissect the question stems, and attack the answer choices.
Our instructors are specialists hired by pre-med students.
Unlike one of our competitors, we don’t use just one instructor to teach an entire MCAT course – we use a whole team of them. We only permit specialists – established experts in their field – to teach our course.
Moreover, each of our instructors was hired at competitive auditions by pre-med 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.
We understand that the decision to attend medical school is a big one. So each year we host free events where you can learn much more about the MCAT and the medical school admissions process. Check out the schedule, and register, below.
We hand-pick the very best of the very best to teach Live Online Prep Courses - including our Lead Instructor in each MCAT subject.
