The Premed Playbook Guide to the MCAT : Maximize Your MCAT Score, Get into Med School

Did you know that the MCAT (and more importantly, your MCAT score) is one of the biggest determinants of whether or not you are going to get into medical school? Every year, we talk to students who underestimate the MCAT and do poorly, severely hindering their ability to get into medical school their first time applying.

The Premed Playbook: Guide to the MCAT gives you the high yield information that you need to know so that you understand what to expect when registering for the MCAT, buying MCAT books and other prep material, looking at MCAT prep courses, finding your MCAT study group, and creating your studying plan. (Use the promo code in the book to save on Next Step's MCAT test prep materials too!) As soon as you know you have to take the MCAT, you need this book. With a solid plan to prep for the MCAT, you can take your application from something that may get overlooked to one that grabs the attention of admission committee members and gets you an interview and an acceptance.
