MCAT Test Prep
LAS Test Prep guides students in preparing for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) so that they achieve at the highest levels. LAS offers one-on-one coaching and a Hybrid Test Preparation Group (a combination of weekly small-group meetings and one-on-one coaching sessions).
To get started, LAS completes an initial consultation process and designs an individualized test prep plan with measurable goals. LAS Test Prep integrates pre- and post-testing with error analyses, recall practice with spaced repetition, and progress tracking.
LAS Test Prep offers a section-by-section orientation to resources, key concepts, and question format, along with individualized test-taking strategies and self-reflective practices. Weekly coaching sessions provide structure, support, and accountability with strategies to deepen knowledge and enhance achievement outcomes.
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, MCAT registration materials, and test dates.
Each of the four MCAT sections includes multiple-choice questions with a single best answer that requires content knowledge, critical thinking skills, test-taking proficiency, and problem-solving skills to respond accurately.
Content knowledge includes natural, behavioral, and social science concepts associated with the study of medicine. The MCAT represents a preliminary blueprint for the expertise and test readiness needed in medical education and includes the following four sections:
- Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
- Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills
- Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
- Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
