MCAT Prep by MedSchoolCoach

Honestly I keep praying for the person who came up with this app. He is amazing and such a kind generous person. Most MCAT preparation apps or website require you to purchase them and don’t even end up being that useful. This app is free and has made me feel more prepared than kaplan ever did. I actually look forward to watching the videos. I would say the questions after each lesson are a bit simple and there are no actual MCAT questions in the app, but learning these lessons before doing AAMC practice questions increases your chances of doing well in the practice questions.

So far so good. But I guess I’ll really know when I take the MCAT

This is not a free app as it’s advertised. You literally can’t do anything within the app unless you pay 70$ per year. If it was advertised as that, I wouldn’t have an issue, that’s a pretty reasonable price for MCAT prep. But it’s advertised as free which is annoying and makes me want to spend my money elsewhere.

i just downloaded the app to get some structured studying in over winter break… it SEEMS like the app would be useful, and i wouldn’t mind paying the subscription to use it closer to my test date, as $20/month or $70/year isn’t insane, but it’s pretty misleading to present as a free study tool when everything is locked until you pay.

I like how well it is organized!

The videos included in the premium package are really easy to follow along with - the instructor is good and knows their stuff. It’s a little surface level in terms of what you need to know, but it’s a generally good overview. It should be paired with book learning and other resources.

More students should use this instead of paying thousands for the online prep courses. It’s extremely affordable and the other prep services available are amazing too!

Love it

I got this app because it boasted a large question bank, and there is. But it is riddled with spelling errors, references images that do not appear anywhere, and no way to flag or report errored questions. Any of the videos they offer can be found free on YouTube from other sources, so yea you’re paying for practice questions. It’s $20 per month or $60 per year. If you need to cram a month or 2 before test day this might be worth it, but get ready for frustration and a hit to your question confidence.

This app is a lifesaver. Highly recommend it if you have the MCAT soon and didn’t have a lot of time to prepare, you can use this app to study months of content in a matter of weeks if you put in the time. My only complaint would be there isn’t a way that I can tell to report errors. E.g. there is a chemistry question in the app that says “this molecule” but no picture is given so answering the question accurately is pretty much impossible, or another example would be the teacher makes an error saying sodium is [He] 2s1 but it should’ve been [Ne] 3s1. There’s no way to really give this feedback that I can tell so these errors may persist and confuse other students. Outside of some minor errors like that which are basically just typos, the app is robust in effective for studying and is helping me review and learn a lot for my MCAT coming up.
