“Excellent content review with challenging mcat questions at the end of chapters.”
“I can say for certain that I prefer the Princeton review. I just started the physics section and it has a lot more examples, thorough explanations, and is overall more comprehensive and easier to digest the information.”
“Great book set! Very easy to read and follow through. There are great explanations of concepts and review material. With diagrams and charts, this book set is perfect for studying and reviewing”
“This in-depth study tool is perfect for graduate level medical students as they prepare for the MCAT Exam.”
4-6 Subject specific MCAT instructors
Our courses are not led by 1 general teacher. We employ four to six subject-matter experts, so you learn from instructors uniquely qualified in the topics they teach
- Instructors must pass our certification course
- Most instructors hold an MSc or a PhD in Biology, Biochemistry, Physics, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Sociology, or Psychology
Diagnostic Tests, Full-length Practice Tests, plus Subject-Specific Practice Exams
We offer 3 different types of practice exams because they each help in a different way.
35 Diagnostic Exams
Diagnostic exams help pinpoint areas of strength and weakness.
16 Full-length Practice Tests
The full-length practice tests are full-length MCAT simulations. They simulate the questions and rigor students will see on exam day.
4 Subject-specific Exams
Subject-specific exams allow students to efficiently practice areas of weakness.
Access to all AAMC practice materials.
While our content is meticulously developed to be as MCAT-like as possible, we know that access to AAMC content is crucial to any student’s preparation.
Our students score in the top 10 percent of MCAT takers because
we know exactly what it takes to get a top MCAT score.

Scored a 517 on the MCAT after The Princeton Review!
"I felt like I was wonderfully prepared for the trials ahead. I was worried since my first few practices tests were extremely low, but as I grew more confident in the strategies, I felt my self-confidence blossom. I think the grueling program is entirely reflective of the time you put in as well. I had to make sure I was putting in the homework and prep work for that work. The structure of the course helped guide me to a work ethic that helped me find the flow that I wanted to reach my target score. I loved my 6 LiveOnline teachers. They were incredibly insightful, and were well knowledgeable in their respective fields. I felt comfortable asking them questions and had a great time taking classes from them. I really appreciate the program I took! It not only taught me many things about the 4 sections, but also about myself - how I study, how I learn, how I grow my self-confidence.”

Scored a 519 on the MCAT after The Princeton Review!
"The Princeton Review gave a comprehensive overview of the test subjects and consistently helped me refine my skills. My practice test scores were 501, 505, 512, and 518 showing how my goal was achieved gradually over the course. The Princeton Review helped me achieve above and beyond the goal that I set for myself. I am not a biology major or even a chemistry major, I am a civil engineering major. When I took the MCAT, I had taken one biology class in college. I had not taken biochemistry or even the second semester of organic chemistry. The last time I had been in a psychology or sociology classroom was in high school. The Princeton Review filled in all of these gaps, and it did so during a semester when I was already taking 15 hours. I cannot applaud the program enough for its efficiency and effectiveness in preparing students for the MCAT.”

"Essentially, I had no idea how to study for this test before taking the prep course. I was intimidated and didn't know where to start. Definitely, I knew exactly how to study for the test after completion of the Princeton Review course. I felt comfortable with most of the material and knew where I needed to focus. On test day, I went in feeling confident. The teachers were very friendly and knowledgeable in their respective fields. They provided many helpful tips and tricks to maximize my score. The teachers genuinely cared about helping the students achieve their full potential. Many had decades of experience teaching, which was evident by how effectively they explained challenging concepts. The LiveOnline course was the perfect fit for me. I enjoyed the pace and structure.”
“I loved the way it breaks down the concepts in clear diagrams and logical flow... I’m even using this book now in my first year of Med school to refresh myself on all the topics in a way that’s easy to digest (esp cellular respiration, pun intended).”
