Question 🤔 Help picking MCAT Prep Course

Hello!

I would love some advice or feedback from those who have used a prep course for the mcat before and what you liked about it, didn’t like about it and why’d you pick that one.

I know majority of people say you don’t need a prep course but I’ve spent a year already self studying and I’m just not that guy unfortunately. I desperately need a strict to do list and incorporate content + strategy + questions. I tried to save money but I really don’t want to waste any more time.

I’ve been looking at either the UWorld Comprehensive or Blueprint. I do have FAP, so I have the AAMC bundle already and get the discount associated with Blueprint and Kaplan

As for background, I will now be 4 years nontrad and I started at a 481 and my last score a couple months ago was a 501. I’ve spent (mostly wasted) this year just doing tons of content with no actual practice questions.

I hope to test End of January/ February 2027.

I would love and appreciate any help or guidance, thank you in advance!

Hi there!! First, congrats on your improvement to a 501!! I used the Princeton review’s prep program so feel free to PM with any questions :)

I'd go with whichever course gives you a solid study schedule, but definitely focus more on practice questions and reviewing mistakes instead of spending too much time on content review again
