MCAT green icon

With 44 hours of prep, MCAT Strategy provides a four-step solution to solving every question type on the exam, in every subject. You should never leave a question blank on the MCAT, and with our approach, you won’t need to.

4-6 subject matter experts will use each session to provide direct instruction on MCAT strategies and to work through sample questions while giving guided practice to apply the skills and techniques you’ve learned. You’ll demonstrate your understanding through independent practice, using full-length tests, diagnostic reports by subject area, and thousands of reading passages and freestanding questions.

  • 6 hours of organic chemistry
    • Apply appropriate time-saving strategies to O-Chem passages.
    • Efficiently work with molecular structures or figure-heavy answer choices.
    • Process text and figure-heavy passages with selective highlighting.
  • 6 hours of physics
    • Identify Information/Situation Passages and understand their range of Type and Complexity of Information.

Laura, MCAT student

The instructors were super knowledgeable and helpful. I also liked how they had more teaching hours than other test prep programs did. And the best part was I achieved a score that was even better than I had hoped for.


Laura, MCAT student
