What Parents Need to Know

Early MCAT Preparation Benefits

Starting MCAT preparation in high school gives students a significant advantage. They'll enter college already familiar with the exam format, content expectations, and strategic approaches. This early exposure reduces stress during college years and allows for more focused preparation when they're ready to take the actual exam.

Building Foundation for College Success

The skills developed in this course extend beyond the MCAT. Students strengthen their scientific reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical abilities - all essential for success in rigorous college science courses and future medical school coursework.

Progress Tracking

Parents receive monthly progress reports showing question completion rates, accuracy percentages by section, improvement trends, and areas requiring additional focus. The 100% multiple choice format provides clear, measurable performance data.

Realistic Preparation Timeline

This course is designed as an introduction to MCAT preparation for high school students. Students will still need to complete comprehensive MCAT preparation during college, typically in the year before they take the actual exam. This course builds the foundation that makes future preparation more efficient and effective.

Support and Guidance

Students have access to instructor office hours for questions about content or strategy, online discussion forums for peer collaboration, and detailed feedback on their performance patterns to guide continued improvement.
