A Canadian platform with a 515+ guarantee
Wizeprep sells MCAT Elite 515 at $3,999, a self-paced course at $1,399.99, and a Wizeprep Plus subscription at $14.95 a month billed yearly. Both course tiers include a year of Wizeprep Plus, which opens up the company's wider library beyond the MCAT.
The headline is the guarantee. Elite 515 promises a 515 or better, which is a more specific commitment than most competitors make.
As with every guarantee in this market, the conditions attached to it are the part that matters, and they are worth reading in full before the price convinces you.
What you actually get for the money
The self-paced tier carries 1,100+ video lessons, 820+ questions and 405+ passage-based questions. The video production is good and the interface is clean. Elite 515 adds live instruction on top.
The practice material is the weak axis. 820 questions is small for a course at this price, and there are no full-length exams of the depth serious preparation needs.
You will be buying AAMC material separately regardless of which tier you choose, and probably a question bank as well.
What students tell us about Wizeprep
Students who come to us from Wizeprep generally describe the same two things: a solid video library, and practice material too thin to prepare on. Most were also studying largely on their own, which is a hard way to use any platform.
We are not putting a number on this. Wizeprep appears in our archive too rarely to support one, and a statistic built on a handful of conversations would imply a confidence we do not have.
Wizeprep is a smaller company with a mostly Canadian footprint, and our archive reflects that rather than any judgement about quality.

The Unbiased MCAT Prep Course Decision Quiz
Three different problems stall an MCAT score, and buying the wrong fix costs months. Six questions sort out which one is yours and what to spend on it. We name competitors and free resources when they beat us, and say so when the answer is spend nothing.
No email required. Your plan appears on screen.
Transparency, before you start. We sell MCAT tutoring and courses, so here are the rules this quiz follows.
- Zero budget, no purchases. Free resources only, and we say so.
- Content gap, buy content first. From whoever does it best, which is usually not us. Our tutoring comes up only as an optional add-on for a big gap.
- Strategy gap, we recommend our own course first. We would put our name against it, and we name a cheaper alternative beside it so you can price us against ours.
- Competitors named and linked when they beat us: UWorld, Kaplan, Blueprint, ExamKrackers, Khan Academy.
- We appear only where we fit, with the budget to match, and always beside a cheaper option.
- Our free MCAT resources show up wherever they fit, and they ask for nothing.
Where it makes sense, and where it does not
The self-paced tier is reasonably priced for what the video library contains, particularly if the Wizeprep Plus subscription is useful to you for other coursework.
$3,999 is a lot for Elite 515. At that price you are in the top bracket of this entire page, above Kaplan's mid tiers and well above Blueprint's. The guarantee is the justification, so the conditions on the guarantee are the whole decision.
Budget for practice material on top. Whatever tier you buy, the question bank will not be enough. Price the course as the course plus AAMC plus probably UWorld, and see how it compares then.
