Do you follow up with users to see how they did on the actual MCAT, if so is there a direct correlation between gold standard success and MCAT success?
 
For those willing to purchase the Package, does the prep company offer a money back guarantee if the student fails to improve their MCAT score by a certain percentage points as compared to their diagnostic test?

Is a timeline/calendar provided for what resources to utilize over the MCAT study prep and are these timelines adjusted according to the amount of time remaining until the MCAT?
 
Is there a significant improve in the diagnostic test score vs the last test score when people go through your test prep package?
 
How have the students who use this package compared to students studying on their own versus other MCAT prep materials.
 
Would you say that your total content review package is comprehensive or more geared towards high-yield content? Would this be appropriate for someone without a Psychology/Sociology background?
 
How well do your developed questions compare to AAMC materials based on reviews of previous users?
 
What are the general stats of students who use your material compared to those who use other material such as Kaplan or Princeton? Is the set guaranteed to cover all sections of the MCAT thoroughly?
 
This seems like a comprehensive study package which allows for no excuses :) I love MP3 option which lets you even prep on the road. Does this package come with a study schedule?

There are no reliable studies from any MCAT preparation company that can answer that question. We have anecdotal information about the usefulness of our content and teaching. Many students have posted unsolicited success stories in our forums. Years ago, we followed students completing our Gold Standard MCAT Platinum Package and 2/3rds were admitted to medical school within 2 years of completing the program. Of course, this does not constitute rigorous research as this is self-reported.

Do you guys offer any in-class sessions?

No. We find that students appreciate the flexibility that online education affords them, as the majority of pre-medical students have very busy schedules consisting of school, work, and family.

We have a discussion board for every chapter and every MCAT practice test question where students can discuss with our tutors, test writers, and other students.

Some reviews from our students:

"Content of MCAT practice tests was very close to actual test."

"Gold Standard practice tests were within a point or two of the real MCAT tests."

"I received my MCAT scores, and scored slightly higher than I had been scoring on the Gold Standard exams. Dr. Ferdinand does a great job summing up everything an MCAT examinee needs in order to do well on the exam."

For more reviews, see: Gold Standard MCAT Reviews

Additionally, our MCAT practice tests have been updated for the MCAT 2018.
 
What are the features of the Gold Standard iPhone app?

The GS MCAT iPhone app contains the most tested MCAT topics and concepts in Biology, Physics, General and Organic Chemistry summarized using 455 high quality probing questions. They are divided into three categories: Basic, Most Tested and MCAT 45.

It contains illustrations to make the difficult concepts easier to understand.

Your scores are saved to keep track of your progress and there is an option to mark difficult questions for later review.
