TESTIMONIALS

What People Are Saying

"A Crucial MCAT Prep Resource, I honestly don’t know if I could have done nearly as well on the MCAT without the insight this podcast gave me. Great resource for better understanding the reasoning that goes into answering MCAT questions. Dr. Gray really puts himself in the shoes of an MCAT test-taker and makes it feel less disappointing to get practice questions wrong. If I could give this 6 stars, I would. My only regret is not having listened sooner."

- BigChute

"The most comforting thing to listen to while preparing. I’m getting ready to retake the MCAT and I really wish I would’ve learned about this podcast earlier because not only have I learned fantastic tips and reasonings to look for on questions, I also just feel more confident in my content knowledge than I did the first time preparing. If someone wasn’t listening to this podcast, Ive recommended it to them by now because it has just helped me feel immensely more prepared even in the beginning stages of my studies. I have no doubt I’ll be ready by May and this podcast has really helped to boost my content confidence overall."

- Tina Gries

"Great for in between times!!! Love this podcast!!! I drive to school and it is really easy to listen to this podcast while doing that and other things. I really like that they give you time to think about the answer and talk through all the choices. It makes you feel as though you’re not wasting time in commuting or getting food prepared etc. — things that take up so much of the day."

"12-point increase! This podcast was a huge help during my summer studying. I know Dr. Gray’s podcast was a huge factor in my 12 point score increase along with many practice tests and my SMP courses. I mainly used the ‘discrete question’ episodes while driving to campus, but there are many helpful tips on test preparation and passage approach. Thank you Dr. Gray for developing such a helpful tool, and I’m really enjoying exploring some of your other podcasts such as Specialty Stories!"

"Better Than MCAT Prep Course. This podcast is so helpful! I actually love how Ryan goes though every question and attempts to answer them even if he doesn’t truly know the answer. Hearing how he would approach the question and how he reasons it out will be very helpful for me during my MCAT. I am currently enrolled in the Kaplan MCAT in person course and this podcast has honestly been more useful to me! I highly recommend! I have learned so much!"
