Who should sign up for the Deluxe Pro Plan?
The Deluxe Pro Plan is for students who want to take their MCAT studying to the highest level possible. It comes with every single resource on our website including all of our mastery and strategy courses. The mastery courses will help you conquer the most commonly tested topics such as amino acids, equations, and more. The strategy courses will help you learn how to truly understand both science and CARS passages in a way that will allow you to easily understand even the most confusing passages and questions. Students who want to get the very highest score possible will definitely want to upgrade to the Deluxe Pro Plan.
If I start with the Basic or Advanced Pro Plan first, will you reimburse me when I upgrade to the Deluxe Pro Plan later?
Yes! We are big believers in “try before you buy.” As soon as you sign up for either the Basic or the Advanced Pro Plans, we will provide you with a discount for the higher-tier plans equal to the value of your purchase. For instance, if you start with the Basic Pro for $19.99, you will automatically receive a $19.99 credit towards your purchase of the Advanced or Deluxe Pro Plans. If you start with the Advanced Pro Plan for $199.99, you will get a $199.99 credit towards your purchase of the Deluxe Pro Plan.
Why should I start with the Deluxe Pro Plan as compared to the Basic or Advanced Pro Plans?
Although you can always upgrade from the Basic/Advanced Pro Plans to the Deluxe Pro Plan, having full access to the Deluxe Pro Plan during your entire study period is extremely beneficial. One major reason for this is that it allows you to learn and practice the proper science passage reading and CARS strategies from day 1. Practicing the right reading/test-taking techniques on a daily basis is essential in feeling confident on every passage you encounter on test day. Additionally, students enjoy being able to use each mastery course when they need it the most. For instance, after taking a practice exam and discovering that your knowledge of equations is lacking, you can slowly start working your way through the 100 Most Essential Equations Course. Targeting and conquering your weaknesses one at a time is key to earning a top MCAT score.
Do any of the Pro Plans offer access to third-party materials?
Because our program is so customizable, many students start our program already owning the AAMC practice question bundle as well as other practice problems and content books. Our program helps such students organize their use of these materials using our structured eCourse. If we were to provide you with third-party materials as part of our Pro Plans, we would have to raise our prices by several hundred dollars, causing students who already own the materials to get charged twice. Our goal is to give you the very best value possible.
What third-party materials will I need in addition to the Deluxe Pro Plan?
The only material you will need in addition to the Deluxe Pro Plan is the AAMC practice question bundle.
When will my access expire?
All our products are a one-time payment for lifetime access. 🙂 While other test prep companies have strict expiration dates for all of their plans and programs, we do not believe that is fair to you. You deserve to be able to access what you purchased until you have taken the MCAT and are satisfied with your score.
Can I defer my payment or pay in increments over time?
Yes! Simply select affirm pay over time at checkout to customize your payment plan with affirm. In some cases, affirm can decline users from using their pay-over-time service. If this happens, you can shoot me a message, and we’ll get you set up with a personalized monthly payment plan that will suit your financial needs. If you have questions or need to make changes to your affirm payment plan, you can contact affirm here. For non-affirm, custom payment plans, contact us.
Can I share my account with a friend or relative?
We trust that you will not share our products with your friends, relatives, or even siblings. In return, we offer you our support and the lowest price out there. MCAT Self Prep is a family business, which provides a livelihood for those working hard to provide you with quality test prep. By offering students lifetime access to our pro plans, we run the risk that you will share your account with others, ruining our ability to make a living. Instead of having expiration dates for plans or implementing strict security protocols, we believe in having a relationship of trust with you. Please treat us with kindness and respect in return.
Do you offer a Higher Score Guarantee?
Our Ultimate CARS Strategy Course, Science Passage Reading Strategy Course, and Deluxe Pro Plan are all backed by our Higher Score Guarantee. We promise that if you use one of these resources and your score doesn’t improve, we will give you 100-percent of your money back. Most test prep companies simply offer to let you retake the course, but we offer lifetime access no matter what and if your score doesn’t improve we give you your money back. We are completely confident that our courses will work for you.
How long does it take to complete the Deluxe Pro Plan?
One of the things that students love the most about MCAT Self Prep is that all of our courses are go-at-your-own-pace. Although we do provide recommendations as to how much time to spend on each course (helping you focus your efforts on your most challenging areas), you can spend as much or as little time as you’d like on each course. While it is always optimal to work your way through our resources slowly over an extended period of time, we’ve had many students complete all the major Deluxe Pro Plan courses during just their final month of MCAT studying, providing a significant boost to their scores. No matter when or how you decide to work your way through our resources, we are confident you will find them to be beneficial in helping you reach your goal.
Can I fit the Deluxe Pro Plan resources into my final phase of studying?
The Deluxe Pro Plan resources can easily be fit into your final phase of MCAT studying. In fact, many students have found these resources to be especially helpful during the final study period.
The 5,000+ Quizlet Flashcard Collection allows you to quickly review every single concept taught by Khan Academy, Kaplan, and Princeton. The Memorization Courses such as the Metabolic Pathways Mastery Course and 100 Most Essential Equations Mastery Course allow you to quickly review the most highly-tested topics. Most importantly, the Ultimate CARS Strategy Course and Science Passage Reading Strategy Course allow you to learn key passage reading techniques in a step-by-step, go-at-your-own-pace manner.
Fitting these resources into your final phase of MCAT studying will allow you to steadily increase your scores on full-length practice exams and ultimately your score on test day. I’ve seen this for many students such as Adrianna (see her testimonial) who boosted her score from a 508 to a 521 by using the Deluxe Pro Plan during her final study phase. I would highly recommend it.
