“If anyone is planning on taking the MCAT, I recommend using MCAT Self Prep; it has awesome resources and tutors who go above and beyond for you.” Read more.

Caitlin

“Using MCAT Self Prep, I was able to increase my score from a 507 to a 521 in only 3.5 months! When I first started preparing for the MCAT, I felt completely overwhelmed by big name test prep books. Once as I started using MCAT Self Prep, I finally had a systematic way to go through all the information I needed. Not only did I learn the information, but I got the advice I needed to both actively memorize and understand so many different subjects. MCAT Self Prep gave me a roadmap to success, but one that was so flexible, and allowed me to do everything according to my timeline… and all for free!”

“I looked at a bunch of different platforms for studying, and when I saw how much more value I could get with MCAT Self Prep, it was an easy decision to get the deluxe pro plan. All the information in one place was exactly what I needed to learn everything I needed to know for the MCAT, along with plenty of flash cards to make sure I was retaining the information. From my diagnostic exam to test day, my score improved 24 points, from a 495 to a 519. I was ecstatic when I got my score! Without MCAT Self Prep, this wouldn’t have been possible.”

Adam

“I had 10 weeks to study for my exam, and I can tell you there was nothing better than this course for preparation. I took my diagnostic test the first day and got a 497, by the end of the 10 weeks I scored a 517 on my last practice exam and scored a 519 on the actual test day. The structure and systematic approach to mastering the test (developing test stamina, covering content, learning to read the questions well, etc) was very effective and just about the best way to spend a 10 week study plan. I would recommend to anyone wanting to take the MCAT.”

“MCAT Self Prep is a great resource to use if you need a little extra motivation to start studying, have a busy schedule, and do not want to spend a lot of money. It was really easy to watch a couple videos and learn a lot during random breaks in my day and right before bed. The modules are also very organized, so I was always able to quickly find videos on specific topics I needed extra help on when reviewing my practice exams. The free eCourse videos were essentially all I used in my content review, and allowed me to achieve a 99th percentile MCAT score!”

“I found MCAT Self Prep only a month and a half before my exam date, but I wish I had found it as soon as I had begun! Despite the late start, I felt that the resources were crucial to my success in taking the MCAT, helping me jump 6 points within that timeframe to a 523 on the the actual test. I found the equations strategy course particularly helpful, and I also loved the create-your-own study plan package and I ended up greatly preferring it to the one that came with a much more expensive prep plan with a different company. This should be the first stop for everyone taking the MCAT in my opinion!”

“I have truly felt that the MCAT Self Prep eCourse has been more valuable than the MCAT prep courses I have paid for. It is really effective at keeping me organized and gives me a clear goal as to what I should accomplish before test day. I have already seen my score leap up 10 points in just 2 weeks, and I plan on it going up even more before I take the test at the end of March. I’m pretty thrilled about that. So thrilled, in fact, that I’ve recommended it to a friend, and now, he too, is using the eCourse to prepare for the MCAT.”

How we Matched up the Khan Academy Passages with the eCourse Lessons

Each lesson of the eCourse contains links to 1 to 5 Khan Academy science passages for the purpose of providing you with non-AAMC material to practice your science passage reading skills on. By completing all the linked passages within every lesson, you will have finished all the freely available Khan Academy science passages.

To match up the Khan Academy Science Passages with the eCourse lessons, we carefully examined the passage and question content of each one. Then we decided which lesson of the eCourse best correlated with that content. You may notice that some passages don’t match up perfectly with the current lesson. If they don’t match up with the current lesson, they should match up with one of the previous lessons in the module. We did this carefully so that you could practice your science passage reading skills on passages that contain the content you’ve already learned.

Why we don’t recommend non-AAMC CARS practice questions

We recommend practicing CARS by reading non-AAMC CARS passages but not doing the associated practice problems. The reason we don’t recommend doing the practice problems is because the MCAT is written by the AAMC. They have a very unique style in which they write CARS practice questions that third-party companies (try as they might) are unable to replicate. When students spend time on non-AAMC CARS practice problems, they get familiar with the wrong style of questioning, leading them to overthink and incorrectly respond to the questions written by the AAMC. Thus, it is in your best interest to solely practice on AAMC CARS practice questions.

That said, we highly recommend practicing your reading skills on non-AAMC CARS passages. In our Ultimate CARS Strategy Course, we provide you with 1,000 free CARS passages and 100+ homework assignments, giving you ample material to practice on. Reading countless passages while practicing the proper reading habits and strategies will prepare you well to conquer the CARS section as it was written by the AAMC.

Which books do the lessons match up with?

The books we use in each lesson are linked below. We plan to stick with these older editions of the books since very little has changed and the older editions are much more affordable:

First Edition of the Kaplan 7-book Series
First Edition of the Princeton 7-book Series

Do the chapters match up perfectly?

The Kaplan Books, Princeton Books, and Khan Academy Videos were all produced by different authors. For this reason, there are some chapters in the Kaplan Book or Princeton Book that are not even found in the Khan Academy Videos and vice versa. For instance, the Kaplan and Princeton Books have chapters that cover certain experimental procedures that the Khan Academy Videos do not cover.

Our goal in matching up the books with the videos was to correlate the content as best as possible while also covering ALL the content from every resource. For this reason, when nothing in the Kaplan Books matched up with one of the video playlists, instead of leaving the reading assignment for Kaplan blank, we inserted material that did not fit in anywhere else (i.e. one of those chapters on an experimental procedure that was not covered by Khan Academy). So, when the assignment doesn’t appear to match up right, please know that this was intentional.

*If you follow the reading assignments outlined, you will finish the entire Kaplan 7-book series and/or Princeton 7-book series by the time you finish all 10 content modules.

Do the sections match up perfectly?

If the sections assigned in our eCourse do not match up with the sections contained in your content review book, you may have a different edition. The sections should still match up the large majority of the time, but in the rare instance that they don’t, I’d recommend simply reading sections that do match up and saving the ones that do not for a future lesson.
