They teach from an instructor book, so each 3-hour class consisted of him reading straight from the book. Our instructor had taken the MCAT just 6 months before, so you would think that some information was still fairly fresh in his mind, right? Nope. I got the course for $1000 through my pre-med organization, but I should have gone with just the online access, because that is what was helpful. My issue with Kaplan was the classroom sessions. Week 11: AAMC 11, official guide passages for all subjects. If you work through those with about 10 weeks of review on a rotating schedule (1 chapter/subject/week) and one practice test per week starting on week 2 - i.e., NO DIAG and do them at the end of each week (an order I might suggest is Weeks 2-10: AAMC 3 TBR 1-3 AAMC 7, 9 TBR 4-5 AAMC 10. Week 12: AAMC 8 at the beginning of the week 2-3 day break MCAT Thursday or Friday) Week 11: official guide passages for all subjects, followed by AAMC 11 toward the end of the week, review thoroughly all passages as this week's passages are the most like the current real thing. AAMC Tests 7-11, 3 (6 and older are not particularly good, but 3 is free) - $175.EK Verbal Workbook (along with their verbal/math book if possible, but that is secondary to their workbook) - $30.TPRH Verbal Workbook if possible (substitute with TBR Verbal Workbook if you can't get a clean TPRH Verbal WB for AAMC Official Guide to the MCAT (most recent passages besides AAMC 11) - $10.TBR science books (best books by far for the sciences) - $240.My AAMC average (tests 7-11) was a 37 but I took all of them after finishing my studying.Īll that said, I'm going to say DON'T take a course and just buy:
My Kaplan average (tests 1-6) was a 35 (with a 33 and a 37 in there as well as a bunch of 35s). I scored a 29 on my diag and got a 32 on the real thing.
