Registration Instructions

Please note, you will receive your access instructions to the course directly from Kaplan. UVM will submit registrants’ information to Kaplan on the 15th of each month, and it takes Kaplan approximately 3-5 business days to process the registrations, so please allow time for this to take place.

Full refunds can be requested and made between the 1st and the 20th of the month (by noon EST on the 20th), for any enrollment requests that were submitted during that same month. After the 20th of the month, no refunds shall be made.

Expert Instruction

24 2-hour scheduled online classes with a team of expert MCAT teachers§ . One expert leads class while a group of off-camera teachers answers your questions in a private chat.

Personalized Plan

Personalized homework assignments based on your strengths and weaknesses. Tell us how many hours and which days per week you can commit to prepping, and we’ll tell you what to study and when. The content that raises your score the most is always prioritized. Additionally, you can test your content knowledge with placement quizzes before each lesson. If you ace the quiz, you can skip that unit altogether—so you can maximize your time and focus on what you need to learn. It’s the fastest way to your higher score.
