Best value. Best results.
Blueprint’s MCAT Self-Paced Course is way more than PowerPoint lectures and a Qbank.
There are a million videos and Reddit posts that claim to know the "right" way to study, and an infinite combination of resources to match.
We’ve got it all covered for you, from video content on must-master topics and MCAT strategy, strategically scheduled practice sets and exams, plus AAMC content planned in advance. Our integrated study plan does it all automatically!
You’re here to study, not organize your studying.
Our interactive study planner keeps you organized, accountable, and moving forward.
It’s got everything you need to stay on track (except snacks).
Take a peek under the hood
Our fun, short-and-sweet videos are always matched to AAMC’s content outline. They’re also super visual and engaging, so you retain the complex information you need to get the MCAT score you want.
If you’re going to spend the entire day on a practice test, you should trust the results.
Our MCAT team of PhDs and matriculating med students has spent 3,000+ hours building our practice exams — our in-house psychometrician regularly analyzes each one using distractor analysis, item difficulty, and item discrimination to be sure we’re keeping up with AAMC and industry best practices.
Tap into more than 5,000+ discrete and passage-based questions — including hundreds of questions from brand-new CARS passages.
We cut the fluff so you can study smarter: Our Qbank automatically serves up practice sets tailored to your performance.
Our best–in-the-business analytics are mega-comprehensive, hypervisual, and super-actionable.
Filter your diagnostic analytics by subject, AAMC reasoning skill, and practice questions to pinpoint weak spots — and understand why, so you can dial in your prep to ace the MCAT.
Online doesn’t mean all alone. You’ll have unlimited access to interactive review sessions on focused topics six days a week.
Pop into any two-hour live session with our MCAT experts — there’s always lots to learn in our open Q&A chat.

For me, the most crucial element of Blueprint was the flexible calendar. By using it as a checklist, I felt confident that I would cover all necessary material...Blueprint encouraged me to analyze my own way of thinking as a means of improvement [which] helped me achieve an MCAT score in the 99th percentile.

When I took the first diagnostic test, I scored a 509. My actual MCAT score was a 525—a 16-point increase! Blueprint provided me with all the tools needed to work towards that goal, including realistic practice tests, engaging video lectures that teach you both the content and how to approach certain questions, and a personalized study schedule.

The study plan, which visually lays out all the topics + video lessons, practice sets, and other preparation materials in a clear plan was very appealing to me. Also, I really liked how flexible the plan was. I was studying during the semester while also enrolled full time in classes and balancing extracurriculars, so I knew I would need the flexibility of being able to move things around.

While I understand that Blueprint is a large investment, I do believe it was a main reason why I ended up doing so well on my MCAT. I didn’t feel like I left any stone unturned by following this course’s guides and books. The Blueprint practice tests are actually very difficult and lead to studying at a higher level.

Blueprint provided me with the structure, content review, and practice that simplified MCAT prep and built my confidence. Applying to medical school can be stressful, so I enjoyed how easy it was to make Blueprint a part of my daily routine. I couldn’t believe that I was able to increase my diagnostic score by 16 points from a 505 to a 521!

I find that I learn best when I integrate different methods of studying into my preparations, so I really liked how I could learn from videos, textbooks, practice questions, flashcards, and more. It’s easy to get burnt out while studying for such a big exam, but I found that my changing up which type of content I was using helped me stay engaged throughout the whole process.

I would say that Blueprint did a great job of helping me learn what I needed to know to get a good score on the MCAT. It also helped me prepare for the actual test day so I went into it knowing what to expect, helping me avoid a lot of the test anxiety that comes with tests like the MCAT.

Begin by familiarizing yourself with the MCAT structure and content. The Blueprint MCAT Content Checklist is a great place to start. When you’re ready, take a diagnostic exam to assess your strengths and weaknesses and establish a baseline starting score.
An effective MCAT self prep plan requires focused resources and diverse materials. Content review books and video lessons will help you tackle the mountain of content knowledge you’re expected to know. Full-length practice exams and practice question sets are crucial to learning how to apply the content knowledge. Fortunately, the Blueprint MCAT Self-Paced Course offers all this and more to provide you with the ultimate advantage as you prep for the MCAT on your own.
The average MCAT student studies for about 300 hours over 3-6 months preparing for the MCAT. Adjust based on your initial diagnostic score and target score.
You should schedule one practice exam per week in your MCAT self prep study plan. You should also allocate at least one day to review your full-length practice exam.
