If you're in the market for exceptional Cleveland MCAT prep, Varsity Tutors is happy to provide you with the best MCAT prep opportunities available. Prospective medical students hoping to gain entrance to a medical school such as the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine will most likely be asked to turn in an MCAT score. The MCAT, or Medical College Admission Test, is required as part of the admissions portfolio at almost all United States medical schools. The exam's purpose is to assess whether you have gained the skills and knowledge needed to do well in your courses in your medical program. You will need to have retained the knowledge learned in introductory-level physics, biology, psychology, sociology, biochemistry, and general and organic chemistry. If any of these subjects contain content you have forgotten, a quality MCAT review course or instructor can help fill in the gaps and ensure you've properly reviewed all the appropriate content needed to excel on the exam, as well as in medical school. Varsity Tutors can set you up with the right Cleveland MCAT prep option to suit your instructional and scheduling needs.
What skills and knowledge can Cleveland MCAT prep cover to help me prepare for the exam?
The MCAT takes 7 1/2 hours to complete, including breaks. There are four individual sections in the MCAT: Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems, Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills, Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems, and Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior. Each section contains between 53 and 59 questions with 90-95 minute time limits. All four sections contain passage-based question sets and three of the sections also contain individual questions. Let's take a closer look at the specific skills and content your MCAT prep can help you review for each section.
The Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems focuses specifically on both physical and chemical principles of living systems. You will review the human body and its organs, organ systems, and tissues as well as their underlying functions. An MCAT review course can help you go over the various mechanisms of different human anatomy and how these things relate to the laws of physics.
For the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills section, you have an opportunity to demonstrate your reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and analytical skills. You'll be able to answer the questions based on the content in the passages, which can come from social science or humanities texts. Your MCAT review course can help you practice drawing conclusions from different compositional elements of the different passages.
The next section is the Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems assessment. You'll need to brush up on basic biological and biochemical concepts. You'll be able to go over how organ systems and cells grow and reproduce as well as reviewing the concepts of adaptation.
The final section is the Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior assessment. Here, you'll get the chance to showcase your knowledge of various mental health issues. Questions will ask you about behavioral changes and the relationships between social stratification, access to resources, and a person's well-being.
This is not a complete list of the concepts and material you'll need to know in order to excel on the MCAT. Your MCAT review course can help you understand which skills and subjects to study to make sure you've covered all the bases. Varsity Tutors can help you get signed up for the right MCAT review options to suit your needs.
What are the benefits of the different types of Cleveland MCAT prep course through Varsity Tutors?
When you choose Varsity Tutors for your MCAT review, you'll be able to choose between two excellent options: an online interactive prep course and private instruction with an MCAT mentor. Both options are exceptional resources for prospective medical students. Let's take a closer look at the different benefits you can gain from each.
If you're a social learner who enjoys the type of structure that comes from a typical classroom, you can find a similar environment in our online Cleveland MCAT prep class. You'll be able to bring the classroom to you using our online learning platform. This allows you to interact with your teacher and fellow classmates from the local library, your favorite coffee shop, or the comfort of your own home. We will help you sign up for either a 2-week or 4-week course, depending on your instructional needs and your testing timeline.
Once enrolled, you'll be able to participate in group discussions and collaborative activities, which has been shown to help with memory retention. For example, if you're reviewing behavioral health issues, you can engage in a discussion about the different symptoms and signs of different disorders.
If you prefer to work more independently, you can sign up to work with a private Cleveland MCAT tutor. With this option, you gain access to the kind of individual and customized instruction that is hard to find in a larger classroom setting. You can attend your tutoring sessions using our unique Live Learning Platform, meaning you can speak face-to-face with your private mentor anywhere you have a computer and wifi. This option allows you to work on the areas you need help understanding while skipping over the content you've already mastered. As you progress and learn, lessons can be adjusted to follow your pace, making your study sessions effective and efficient. Your instructor can also take into account your strengths, weaknesses, and preferred learning style. For example, it if turns out you are a visual learner, your teacher can suggest various videos or infographics to help you learn in a way that makes the most sense to you.

As a student, I understand how difficult school can be. Breaking down difficult concepts to more basic, understandable ideas can make all the difference. Learning should be tailored to one's needs, and classrooms cannot always teach that way. I look forward to helping students work to their full potential, and make the learning process easy. In terms of experience, I have been tutoring for 6 years now, with ages ranging from kindergarten through second-year college students.

Kevin: Cleveland MCAT test prep instructor
I am a chemical and environmental engineer of long experience who has a knack for explaining science and math concepts in ways that students can understand, helping them to get the concepts. I also help students with their homework in all those areas. While my strong suit is math and science, I can also help explain concepts in English, writing, history, and social studies, as well as edit/proofread papers as needed.... While I am not expert in reading comprehension help, I would try to have the students outline the passage and perhaps draw a picture of what is being discussed. If they can break the passage down by what the sentences are discussing, they can then try to put everything together for a good result.
