Hey guys, my name is Dr Ryan Gray host of The Premed Years podcast.
I want to talk to you today about what I think is the best online MCAT prep course there
is that you can buy right now.
So what do I think is the best MCAT course that you can buy right now?
It's from Next Step Test Prep.
They're known for their 1-on-1 tutoring, but not that long ago they released an online
course.
Now they came at it from a completely different angle than most other test prep companies
and that's why I think it's the best course out there.
Let's talk about those reasons right now.
So number one, I'll mention it, although most test prep companies give you this is access
to all of the AAMC online resources, the AAMC practice tests, that Qbank, everything that
the AAMC has online for you, you get when you buy the Next Step Test Prep online course.
Next, you get access to all ten—that's right, 10—of Next Step Test Prep's full length MCAT practice exams
Now time and time again, students come back to me after I recommend Next Step's exams
and they say Dr. Gray, Next Step has the most realistic exams out there, obviously next
to AAMC.
The AAMC is the gold standard, they're the company that makes the MCAT, but Next Step
Test Prep, time and time again, students say it was the best test to judge my overall score
that I'm going to get on the MCAT.
You get access to all ten of their practice exams and two diagnostic exams.
You also get access to their books.
Now historically the Next Step books haven't been that great and when I talk to students
about the course and Next Step materials, time and time again, the the feedback is about
the books.
There's a lot of mistakes in them, they're not as pretty as some of the other companies—that's
changed.
Next Step just revamped their whole lineup of books and you get access to all of those
new books in full color, right for you.
You also get access to over a hundred hours of online videos reviewing content for you.
It's a powerpoint presentation and the tutor's up in the corner of the screen covering the
information, but one of the best parts about this content review is that it's not passive.
Most courses out there are going to be passive where you're just watching a powerpoint presentation.
These aren't passive.
The are quizzes interspersed throughout the different lectures throughout the content
to make sure that you're paying attention, to make sure that you're understanding the
material before you move on.
Now, one of the other cool features that Next Step just revamped is a study planning tool.
One of the biggest questions that students say is, I have three months to study.
How do I do it?
How do I figure out my study schedule?
Well, Next Step built that into the MCAT course.
You log in, you tell the course planning software, the study planning software, when you want
to start studying for the MCAT, when you are planning on taking the MCAT, how much time
you have to study, when you're going to take your full-length exams and so on and so forth,
and after about a minute of clicking some boxes and some options, you have a full study
plan right there for you.
If you go off track, which most people do, most students do, you can click and drag lectures
from one spot to another and if you've got behind, you can move forward and rearrange
it as necessary on the fly.
Now, probably the biggest selling point that I think the Next Step Test Prep MCAT course
has over every other company out there is the fact that when you buy the course, you're
not only getting all of this prerecorded content, but you get access five days a week to two
hour-long live office hour sessions.
Two hours, every day, five days a week, live office hours and most of the office hours
are built around a specific content where the tutor is going to run you through content
and go over questions and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions.
Some of the sessions are just built around general Q&A if you have questions.
I've heard from students, again asking about this course as they go, you know what Dr Gray,
I logged into the live office hours and I was the only one there so it was like a free
one on one tutor for two hours, so I'm not guaranteeing that you get that, but not everybody
takes advantage of these live office hours and if you are one of those that's going to
take advantage of them, you might get a little bit more private experience with these tutors
and that is unparalleled among any of the other MCAT courses out there right now.
When you first log on, it may be a little bit overwhelming.
There's a lot of material.
There's a lot of things that you can click on and videos to watch and that may overwhelm
you.
You do get access when you buy the course, you get access to a one-on-one orientation
session with somebody from Next Step to run you through the platform, how to use it, how
to best use it for you so that you can get started right away with your MCAT prep.
So let's talk about price, $1599 is the course price right now you can save $50 by using
the Next Step MCAT course promo code MSHQ—now that's an affiliate link—if you use that,
then I get a little commission, but I wouldn't recommend this course if it wasn't the best
course out there.
So $1549 after the $50 discount using the Next Step MCAT course promo code, MSHQ.
That's all I have for you for Next Step's MCAT course review.
I highly, highly, highly recommended it if you're going to get an MCAT prep course, I
think it's better than any other course out there.
Again, say $50 using the promo code MSHQ, for Medical School Headquarters, and don't
forget to check out the MCAT Podcast.
It's a podcast that I do with Next Step Test Prep as well.
Thanks for joining me in this video.
