The caveat is that if you miss a class, you have the option of watching a pre-recorded lesson outside of class time to make up for the missed class. Each class has a corresponding section in the provided practice book that guides you during the class, and a reading to be done on your own time. The Kaplan live online MCAT course allows you to participate in live online classes taught by virtual instructors in real time from the comfort of your own home, and classes take place twice a week (three hours long each), spanning a period of two months.

(Full disclosure: I worked as a Kaplan Student Brand Ambassador-but I am going to present an unbiased review of their products.) My plan for studying was to go through the live online course material and AAMC practice material (the full bundle), and take the exam a month after the course ended.
Before I first started studying, I purchased the live online Kaplan course, which came with the entire set of Kaplan MCAT prep books, a diagnostic MCAT exam, and 15 full-length online practice exams. I began studying for my MCAT in the summer of 2017, while I was shadowing a surgeon part-time over a period of eight weeks. It’s not about how much you study, but how you study. I am not endorsing any of the products mentioned in my post, but simply want to share with you which resources I used. I know as well as anyone how stressful and challenging studying for the MCAT can be, so I hope that this post can give you some clarity and demystify the process. In this post, I want to share my painful but ultimately rewarding MCAT journey in the hopes that it may inform your own studies. Tis the season for studying for the MCAT! I took my MCAT in March of 2018, and I vividly recall that the period leading up to my MCAT was one of the most stressful times of my life.
