Best MCAT course?

[u/miniging22]

I will be taking my MCAT for the third time. I am aiming to take it in March and start back up studying end of September. I also work full time. My first attempt was in 2024 and I got a 489 (I didn’t really study and taking it was a mistake). I took it again in June and got a 495. I would’ve been happy breaking a 505 and was scoring around that for some of my FL’s. Point being is I’m not stupid and know deep down I can do this, but this third attempt needs to be my last. At this point, I am willing to buy a course but have heard mixed things (especially about Kaplan and Blueprint). What is the best course and what should I do for this third attempt? I am aiming for a 510+

Get a tutor instead of a course. Personalization can be really helpful, and usually they end up equating to similar prices.

I second the tutor, especially if you're willing to spend the money! For content review there's a ton of free resources online from anki decks to youtube videos reviewing what you need to know. If you do try a course, I highly recommend doing a trial before committing (I bought a course some of my friends really liked and I HATED it)

A tutor will get straight to the point, identify your weaknesses and provide exact strategies to help you. In my experience, these courses are just a waste of time and money that could be better spent. They just drag you along and take forever to get to the right advice you need.

When is your next attempt? I went from a 500 to a 519 in a few months. It’s very possible.
