University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
If I didn’t use Blueprint, I think I might have missed important content trying to figure out how to study on my own. I had a friend use Blueprint to get into the same institution I am at, and it was, and is, a tried and true method to success.

My favorite thing was the huge question bank. It’s worth the investment. I would not have scored as well as I did without Blueprint.

Choosing the best MCAT prep course is vital to your success. Consider your own learning style, how long you have to prep, and your overall goals. The most important thing to look for when deciding on an MCAT prep course is how representative it is. The official AAMC practice exams are a cornerstone of any effective MCAT study plan, as simulating the real test environment is key to achieving your best performance. However, you will need to supplement your MCAT prep with other resources to get enough practice to reach your target score.
As the leader in representative MCAT prep, Blueprint MCAT (formerly Next Step) regularly updates our prep materials and interface to ensure our students do their best and use the most representative MCAT practice resources. Whether you need the complete flexibility of the Blueprint MCAT Self-Paced Course, the interaction and instruction of Blueprint Live and 515+ courses, or the one-on-one attention of a private MCAT tutor, Blueprint students see life-changing results. Ultimately, choosing the best MCAT prep course for you comes down to your personal learning style and preference, but we know you’ll find the right course with Blueprint MCAT.
The AAMC recommends students dedicate about 300 hours to MCAT test prep. However, if you're aiming for a top score, you may need to spend as much as 500 hours prepping. Typically, MCAT prep is spread out over 3-6 months. Once you have a test date in mind, evaluate your schedule to realistically gauge the time you can commit to your MCAT prep. Whether it’s on your own, with an online MCAT course, in a class, or with a personal tutor, make sure your MCAT test prep isn’t rushed.
If you’re here, you’re already taking the right first step! To get started on your MCAT prep, take a diagnostic practice test. This initial test will help you identify your baseline score, highlight what you already know, and set the stage for a more focused and effective study plan.
Access a free MCAT diagnostic test with a free trial and get other helpful MCAT prep tools by visiting our MCAT free resources page.
Then, create a free study schedule using our customizable online MCAT study planner. Your study plan will organize all your MCAT practice, including content review, practice tests, practice question sets, and reviews.
Remember, everyone’s study schedule will look different. What works best for one student may not work for another. Find what works best for you and stick to it. Consistency is key when it comes to successful MCAT test prep.
It depends on your individual learning style and study habits. Some students benefit from the structure and guidance of a prep course, while others prefer to self-study using a blend of resources. However, research shows that a 15-point score increase can nearly quadruple your acceptance rate. This means investing in a quality MCAT prep course can ultimately pay off in a higher score and increased chances of acceptance into your dream medical school.
Remember that studying for the MCAT is not just about content review. It also requires learning strategies and test-taking techniques that can help maximize your performance on exam day. A good MCAT prep course will not only provide you with comprehensive content review, but also teach you how to approach MCAT questions and manage your time effectively.
*Blueprint Self-Paced Course students had an average increase of 15 points from their first Blueprint Exam to their best score on either a Blueprint Full Length Exam or self-reported score on an AAMC Practice Exam. The population of 596 students included all students who started their prep in 2022 and completed a minimum of 2,500 questions and 155 modules in the Self-Paced Course. Blueprint Live Course students had an average increase of 15 points from their first Blueprint Diagnostic Exam to their official AAMC MCAT score. The population of 54 students included all students who started their prep between January 7 and October 20, 2021, took the Blueprint Diagnostic first, attended at least 75% of live classes, answered a minimum of 1,500 questions, and provided their official score. To preserve the integrity of the study, one student was excluded for being an anomalous three-sigma outlier. The Live course score increase calculations were verified by the accounting firm of Weaver & Tidwell L.L.P.
