Anyone have suggestions on prep course options, meaning Kaplan versus others?
Also has anyone done the private tutoring option, and if so what was your experience with that?
I am enrolled in Kaplan, online, live. In going through the 2014 Kaplan in similar fashion, I DO believe in the method, manner, and delivery of the product.
There are so many tips/tricks/hints given by the instructors to make the MCAT a friendlier beast. In addition to the online class, there are videos to watch to shore up discrepancies in knowledge or understanding, reiteration of how to dissect a passage (don’t read all that crap), etc.
As for private tutoring, Kaplan instructors will hint around this during class in private chat. I never used it as I am self-motivated enough to just do what I’m supposed to do for every class and then the extra required to boost my score.
Despite that I want a 516+ score, I will not pay for the private tutoring.
Last, I’ve asked the forum admin to consider putting additional sections under the MCAT space for the different sections on the MCAT:
Chem/Physics
Bio/Biochem
Psy/Soc
CARS
I was thinking that might be a place for others to come with questions on material/content and for yet others to answer …
Anyway - did you take the diagnostic yet?
I did the Kaplan On-Demand after being out of school for most of the prereqs for 10 years. If I had to do it all over again, I would go with Kaplan again. I don’t have any basis of comparison to any other program.
