There are numerous MCAT prep courses available. The only challenge in registering is selecting one that meets your timeframe for applying to med school and fits your schedule.
Instructions
1. Plan when you would like to take the MCAT test. This will help you create a schedule of possible prep courses that fit your timeframe.
2. Check out the Princeton Review's Hyperlearning MCAT prep course, which features 3 to 5 instructors who cover various sections of the test (see Resources below). The classroom course also provides access to numerous practice MCATs.
3. Decide how you learn best, whether it is alone, in interaction with others, or with the disciplined classroom approach for those who need a set schedule.
4. Look for a MCAT prep course that enables you to take practice simulations on the computer. This will closely match what you will be expected to do during the real test. Kaplan, for example, offers this type of learning environment (see Resources below).
5. Consider supplementing any prep course you take with some additional coursework. You will get insights into other areas not covered in-depth during the prep course.
6. Put all the test strategy tips that are given to you during the MCAT prep course to work. The tips might be more beneficial than some of the coursework. A good website to visit is Prep101, which provides detailed information on selecting and taking a MCAT prep course (see Resources below).
