How do the seminars with Dr. Ferdinand work? I have never been a part of an online seminar and it sounds intriguing!

 

[mcat prep]

It is an online class where you see a whiteboard where he writes, provides explanations, you can hear him speaking and you have access to the following ways to communicate with the teacher: you can choose to use a microphone, or a chat window where you can text or you can use icons for clapping or laughing at corny science jokes!

What if you already have GS1-3 can you request access to 4-9 instead?

Thanks.

For programming reasons, your request is not possible.

Are the online materials sequential, in a way that we have to stick to a specific schedule like in other test prep online courses? Or, is MCAT University (online) more flexible in terms of being to picking and choosing the lectures we want to use that better fit the areas that we need to improve/most need work in?

What times does he usually lecture? or is it prerecorded?

Both.

If you click on Lessons, you can go to a specific chapter: for example, Fluid Dynamics. In that chapter, you would see the following: relevant videos, the online version of the textbook chapter, chapter commentaries from the author, chapter review questions with explanations, a forum thread to discuss that chapter.

On the other hand, click on Videos presents a section laid out more like a buffet.

Lectures are usually evenings or weekends and they are not prerecorded (they are live). The seminars are recorded so if you miss it, you can watch them anytime.

We have several testimonials here: www.mcat-prep.com/testimonials/
