Hello! First time poster, long time shadow lurker… I plan on taking the MCAT sometime next year, so I am trying to look into the different prep materials early on. Logically purchasing a set of the typical books (either Kaplan or Exam Krackerz) is a must, while the AAMC and/or UWorld question banks seem to be some of the most recommended investments for sure.
However, has anyone ever used any of the materials offered by 30DayMCAT, MCAT Prep, or Course_Correction? I found each of these while following MCAT related pages on Instagram. They all post practice questions throughout the week, and although the questions aren’t passage questions, I do find them helpful for basic concept review.
The 30DayMCAT page seems to offer a 30-day cram course, but I’m not sure. Personally, this one seems a little sketch to me, because 30 days does not seem like enough time to prepare, but the page does have a lot of followers. Does anyone know if this is worthwhile or an absolute scam?
The MCAT Prep page offers MCAT practice tests and MCAT question banks. The first MCAT test is free and then you can buy more tests for $10 each. Has anyone tried these? Is it legit? How about the question bank? How does it compare to AAMC or UWorld material?
The Course Correction page offers tutoring for the MCAT and college courses like orgo and biochem, as well as mock interviews for medical school, and even help editing/reviewing secondaries. This page seems pretty new, because it does not have as many followers or posts. However, it has become one of my favorites, because whenever you comment, they'll actually write back. Also, if you message them questions about stuff you don’t understand, they’ll write a detailed message or send an audio message explaining the concept, which has been super helpful.
Sorry for the long post, but like… is any of this good? Have you used it? Is it worth the money? Some of it definitely seems pretty affordable, which is why I’m not sure. Thanks.
