Blueprint MCAT’s Self-Paced students increased their scores by an average of +15 points.*
Our students show, on average, a 15-point increase from the first test they take with us to their best exam score in our system. But that 15 points is just the average (and who wants to be “average”?!), and many of our students increase their scores as much as 20 points.

Designed by MCAT Experts. Every video learning module is designed by a team of PhD’s, learning science experts, and 98th-percentile scoring instructors for the most effective online learning.
Amazing Animations. Our illustrations and graphics help you to visualize complex chemical processes and systems, in a way that textbooks and slides simply can’t!

Blue, the first AI MCAT tutor
Nothing in life is guaranteed. Except the world’s best MCAT prep course. Here’s how it works:
You’re a first time Blueprint MCAT student, enrolled in the MCAT Self-Paced Course and have paid in full.
You have taken an official MCAT exam.
You email a screenshot of the half-length diagnostic score or a recent official MCAT score to guarantee@blueprintprep.com before the first lesson of your self-paced course and before taking any full length practice exams.
You complete the MCAT Self-Paced Course.
Completing the prep course means completing all of the learning modules in full, taking at least three (3) of the ten (10) full-length MCAT practice exams and two (2) of the AAMC tests under test-day conditions.
Within three months of completing the course, you show us your official AAMC score report. If you don’t score higher on the official test, you can either repeat the course for free or receive a full refund.
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.
Common pitfalls include inadequate practice, neglecting full-length exams, and focusing too much on content review without applying it to questions. Balance your study approach and regularly test your knowledge under simulated exam conditions with practice exams. Don’t rush through your MCAT self prep review if you’re not seeing the improvement you want.
Set achievable goals, take regular breaks, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Remember to prioritize self-care and don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re feeling overwhelmed.
