MCAT Test Prep
LAS prepares students to achieve at the highest levels on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). LAS designs individualized test prep plans that combine content and process goals with measurable outcomes. Each plan is designed within the LAS Test Prep framework and integrates pretesting, post-testing, and weekly self-assessments for accurate progress tracking.
LAS Medical Coaches™ provide structure, support, and accountability. Within the LAS learning and test prep framework, students prepare for the MCAT section-by-section to deepen their knowledge and enhance their achievement outcomes.
The MCAT is offered annually, between January and September, and test dates are released in October of the preceding test year. MCAT scores are required by most North American medical schools (all U.S. and many Canadian) for regular admission to medical school.
The MCAT is a standardized, multiple-choice exam that calls for 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. In some ways, the MCAT is a preliminary blueprint for the knowledge and test readiness required in medical education.
The MCAT is comprised of four sections. Each section has a standard time requirement and includes the following content:
- 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
Additional information about the MCAT, including test schedules, test dates, and score release dates is available on the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) website. Click AAMC to access that information along with MCAT registration materials.
LAS offers two options for successful MCAT preparation: One-on-one coaching; and Hybrid Test Preparation (a combination of small-group meetings and one-on-one coaching). All LAS Test Prep options require a significant study commitment and convene weekly.
