Kaplan's On Demand option allows you to prep at your own pace with comprehensive video instruction from our expert teachers, accessible when and where you want.

MCAT Advantage − On Demand

$1,749 or 3 installments of $583

Complete the Kaplan MCAT program at the best time and place for you. Whether because of schedule, location, or learning style, some students study best independently. MCAT Advantage − On Demand (http://www.kaptest.com/MCAT/Prep-for-the-MCAT/On-Demand/mcat-on-demand.html) provides all of the strategies, materials, and analysis offered with any of our comprehensive course options free of the obligations that come with a pre-set class schedule.

Does the on-demand course include all the AAMC CBTs as well or just some of them? I've heard different stories.
Also, do people who take the on demand course get the books or is it just for the online access to the materials?
thanks

The On Demand course includes full access to Kaplan's MCAT training library, which includes the 8 AAMC full-length exams and 11 Kaplan full-length tests (for a total of 19 full-length practice tests). On Demand students also get a complete set of our MCAT Review Notes, which were developed in partnership with Scientific American magazine and were recently revised to ensure that they are completely up to date.

Does the on demand class have more of a powerpoint presentation format when watching the videos?

@satellite8: While the Lessons On Demand (the teaching modules for the On Demand course) are more akin to a Power Point presentation than simply a video recording of a live class, they go well beyond the capabilities of a basic slide show. With embedded videos/animations, complete voice-over instruction, and interactive questions and quizzes, they're the next best thing to having an actual live instructor.

I received a PM today from someone who had a GREAT question that I wanted to share:

"I am looking to sign up for a Kaplan online course this summer which offers me all of the practice tests. I was going through the website and saw that Kaplan On Demand (http://www.kaptest.com/MCAT/Prep-for-the-MCAT/On-Demand/mcat-on-demand.html) seems like what I would want. Could you comment on what this course offers in terms of materials, especially in regards to Verbal material and Practice Full Lengths. Also, if I were to take Kaplan Advanced (I got a 29S before) what is different between this and the On Demand course?"

The Kaplan On Demand program offers ALL the same online resources as our Advantage Anywhere (online) and On Site courses!
- VR materials: Review Notes book (includes practice passages, too), three 3-hour Verbal/Writing lessons, 15 full-length VR Section Tests online (each test is 40 questions, 60 minutes, 7 passages), 6 VR online workshops and quizzes, and 3 sets of Verbal Foundation notes (online .pdfs)
- QBank: allows you to practice VR passages by passage-type if you wish!
- practice full length exams: all 11 Kaplan and all 8 AAMC = 19 total

The main difference between the Advantage courses and On Demand:
- both Advantage Anywhere and On Site courses require you to meet on specific dates and times with a live instructor, along with other students like yourself in either an online or brick-and-mortar classroom
- the On Demand course offers pre-recorded lesson videos only (our most experienced faculty teach the lessons) which you can watch on your own at ANY TIME in ANY ORDER with the advantage of using stop/pause/rewind/forward!

To ReKap...
Advantage: live lessons
On Demand: pre-recorded library of videos

Now, to compare On Demand with the Advanced course...
- uniquely inherent to the Anywhere Advanced course (online only) is a set of advanced content review files and more demanding passages in your Lesson Book

If you can fit it into your schedule, I highly recommend that you join an Anywhere Advanced course because it will challenge you at a level that you haven't yet experienced in your MCAT prep to date and can help you break beyond that high-20's sub-30 division (nice Writing Sample score, BTW ;) ) Cool?

How much better do students do coming out of a Kaplan Adv vs regular Kaplan Demand course?

How much better do students do coming out of a Kaplan Adv vs regular Kaplan Demand course?

Another good question, apumic ;)

Whether a pre-med student succeeds better in a teacher-led versus self-directed environment completely depends on the student's own study habits!

As an On Site instructor, I know that many of my students purposely enrolled in a classroom-based course because they want/need exact meeting times and dates where an instructor stands in front of them and demands their complete attention and participation.

However, this is neither logistically possible, nor desired for a different subset of students whose schedule isn't conducive to commuting to a physical classroom and who are perfectly productive going through the pre-recorded lesson videos and resources on their own time!

:thumbup: The great news: our three prep course formats (Anywhere, On Site, On Demand) appeal to different students, but all will find success with our program or we'll give them their money back!*
