MCAT Test Prep
LAS MCAT Prep guides students to achieve at the highest levels on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). We offer a few options for successful preparation, including one-on-one coaching and Hybrid Test Preparation (a combination of small-group meetings and one-on-one coaching).
To begin, LAS designs an individualized test prep plan that combines content and process goals with measurable outcomes. The LAS Test Prep framework integrates pre- and post-testing, error analysis, self-assessments, and progress tracking, among other variables for successful outcomes, and the LAS Coach provides section-by-section information and practice options. Incorporating strategies to deepen knowledge and enhance achievement outcomes, the weekly coaching sessions offer individualized structure, support, and accountability.
The MCAT is offered annually, between January and September, and test dates are typically released in October of the preceding test year. Information about the MCAT, including test schedules, test dates, and score release dates, is available on the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) website. Go to AAMC to access test information along with MCAT registration materials and preferred test dates.
Comprised of four sections, the MCAT is a standardized multiple-choice test that necessitates critical thinking, test-taking proficiency, and problem-solving skills. It requires knowledge of natural, behavioral, and social science concepts associated with the study of medicine. The MCAT represents a preliminary blueprint for the knowledge and test readiness required in medical education. It is comprised of the following four sections:
- Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
- Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
- Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
- Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills
