I had done all the content review and practice tests necessary to succeed, but was still not reaching my target score. I consider myself a good test taker, but this was getting ridiculous.
I first emailed the MCAT Mastery Team in a total panic. I may have started with a 493, but I had my eye on a 512. Months dragged on and I shot up passed the 500 mark, then the 505 mark, but then that's where it all stopped short. I bounced around the 503-505 range for a few weeks and eventually was at my limit. Less than a month away from my test day, I started looking up tutors like my life depended on it. I even started to compromise my dream score, asking them if a 510 was even feasible for me at this stage.
That's when they assigned me to my tutor, who helped to calm the heck down. Not only did he help me with my problem areas and send me high-yield equation sheets, he helped me understand that what was really holding me back was my mental hang up on C/P. I was out of mind angry that this one section was going to blow my chances at almost every medical school I was interested in, despite me hammering it into my head for months on end.
My tutor helped me to see the math for what it is... my score started to skyrocket. I just got my official MCAT score back this week and I am proud to say I made it out with a 511 overall and a 126 C/P!
Thank you guys! You came in clutch when I needed you most.

The Top Scorer MCAT Strategy Guide was really helpful... It was helpful to see how experts would suggest how you should tackle each section of the MCAT. It also provided a lot of information on the process of taking the test.
If you are not taking a prep course yet, I would especially recommend this guide because it provides a lot of tips and strategies that you may not be able to get from the practice books itself.
Overall, I would recommend that every pre-med preparing for the MCAT should read this guide before they start any type of preparation!
I really appreciated the 130+ Scorer CARS Mastery Report. I thought it was incredibly useful, especially the part where it walks you through a practice AAMC passage. It was nice to see a detailed thought process written out for others to use. Something I did that helped, was complete the passage on my own and then read the explanation given in the mastery report to see where I could improve!
** It took me about 3 weeks to jump from my lowest (practice test #5) to highest score ( on the real MCAT). The drop was kind of a surprise because I had made a 504 on the practice test before that. I believe a part of the reason for the drop is because of my lack of focus due to some personal problems. I shouldn't have taken that particular practice test knowing that I wasn't in the right head space.

I highly recommend downloading the Top Scorer MCAT Strategy Guide! I found it about two weeks before my exam, but I wish I'd found it sooner. Sure I knew the content, but I had no idea how to take the actual exam. It provided loads of tips on how to structure your study strategy and how to approach the problems. The study plan advice was especially helpful to me since I was self-studying and designing my own strategy.

Although I wish I had found the Top Scorer MCAT Strategy Guide sooner, it was really helpful! I only bought it about 2 weeks prior to taking the exam.
It would have been great to find it sooner and not "reinvent the wheel" with developing my study strategies.
When I did find the MCAT Mastery site and signed up for the daily emails, I couldn't believe how helpful I was finding the email tips. I downloaded the materials soon after and read the guide in a day, taking notes on all the parts that really resonated with me.
The part I needed the most was battling my test anxiety. The MCAT is a TON of pressure but those strategies helped center me."

The advice in the mastery guide was exactly what I needed to hear in my panicked state. Hearing the basic advice to review my practice exams was gold. I am so glad I googled "MCAT strategies" a week before the test or I very likely would have voided my score and had to retake. The way I see it, I spent $30, but saved $300!

The MCAT Mastery documents do a good job of not only giving you tips on test taking, but also how to manage stress and to stay calm. They are very direct and honest. The strategies that are presented provide different perspectives on how to think about the questions or even different methods to approach the passages and diagrams or tables.
Another resource that helped me the most was the CARS Mastery Report. Having examples of the thought processes for the AAMC CARS question packs was very helpful and allowed me to better acclimate to the style of AAMC."

I came across the MCAT strategy guide and was SO happy that I did. It hit on all the questions I had and all the strategies I needed to implement in my studying. Most of all, it made me really focus on the PROCESS - studying for the MCAT is not about memorizing techniques, methods, terminology. It is about connecting ideas and being able to apply them.
I spent a lot of my spring college semester taking notes on my MCAT prep books, but those only touch on the specifics and from all my studying, I really started to realize that someone could truly take the test with only basic science information and still do well as long as you know how to comprehend, analyze, make predictions, and interpret scientific readings.
This is exactly what the strategy guide helped emphasize, which was something that I had never quite grasped, since all other prep companies sell you on needing to memorizing all the specifics.

Zara is an absolutely amazing tutor! Before I started working with her, my score was not crossing a 500. After working with her, I noticed a significant jump in my score through my practice exams. She helped me not get intimidated by all the overwhelming information in the passages and helped my reason properly to reach the right answer. Most importantly though, Zara gave me the necessary confidence to take the exam!

The Top Scorer MCAT Strategy Guide is a Must-Read for anyone who wishes to do well on the MCAT. It has amazing strategies and tips that you will not find in ANY test-prep company material (Kaplan, TPR, NextStep, etc). I wish I had known about it earlier in my studies because it brought my strategy aspect of the MCAT to a whole new level. I was hesitant at spending money on it first, but it was worth every penny.
I then went through the CARS Mastery Report which included in-depth analysis of AAMC CARS QPack. This included great strategies for CARS and showed me how high scorers think. I was getting amazing explanations for dense passages that I would have no clue on when I read through it the first time around. All answer choices were explained very logically and helped me spot out trap answers. I would highly recommend this if you are struggling with CARS.

The MCAT Mastery Strategy Guide was an important addition to my studying toolkit, especially as a self-studier. I highly recommend getting this guide early in your studies, but I bought it 3 weeks before my test and still believe it made a huge difference. It gave me a way to study smarter, not longer, and helped me maximize the time I had left!

Theres not enough stars here for Mehul, I have worked with alot of tutors including some from MCAT Mastery and had already been through the MCAT prior to working with him, when I came to him I was in a time crunch, needing to make a big score increase in about a month before my test date. Let me tell you my experience during our sessions absolutely changed the game for me, he listened to what I needed and we actually tackled the issues. Mehul always went the extra mile to provide me resources and answer my questions no matter how many I sent him, most of all he believed in me. We attacked my weaknesses and just like I never let up neither did he. I typically don't do reviews, but that is just how amazing of a tutor Mehul was for me. I cannot convey my appreciation enough, if you are willing to put in the work, implement the resources and adopt the mindset (which he helps you cultivate), there is literally no limit. The investment was most definitely worth it, bottom line Mehul is excellent, he actually cares, if your looking to take your score to the next level this is definitely someone you want on your team.

I’ve had Savannah as my tutor and I couldn’t be more happier! Since day#1, she was very engaging and provided me with the tools I needed to approach CARS passages. As we went through sessions, we went from her holding my hand through passages, to myself completing them and getting her feedback on areas of improvement. She also was invested in seen how can my score improve. I 100% recommend MCAT mastery tutoring!

I have only been meeting with Zara for about a week but have already learned so much about the best way to approach MCAT passages. I have learned that most of the times my issues on the science sections stem from not understanding how valuable the passage is, in terms of many of the answers being in the passage. I am excited to continue to grow my confidence and knowledge. Thank you MCAT Mastery for offering an AFFORDABLE and EXCELLENT tutoring service.

Best MCAT resource!
Jack was an excellent tutor! Upon taking the MCAT for a second time, I felt lost on how to really improve. My test-taking confidence was dwindling. Jack was really able to find what I personally need to heighten my strategies and gave me my confidence back amidst the marathon of studying. MCAT Mastery is by far one of the best resources I utilized in both times studying for this beast of an exam, but I am very grateful for Jack's useful, tangible advice to lead me in a direction towards success!

My tutor, Emily, was extremely helpful. My test was coming up and I was frustrated because my score wasn't improving. Emily showed me how to work through passages and gave me strategies that allowed me to finally reach my goal score.
