Is the course that Jack Westin offers on the CARS section worth it?
Was that the old one or the new one?Took his course. Went from about the 50th percentile to ~75th percentile. Take that info as you wish.

For those of you who took the Jack Westin course, how long did it take for you to improve your CARs score? My last CARs score exam was 121 and I want to bump it up to 125 (minimum) by Mar 2017
I do not want to start an argument but want to provide a different perspective. I could tell anyone this for any section of the test it doesn't mean they'll improve . I honestly think Jacks course is for someone that wants to see a significant increase in their CARS score. If you're one or two points away for your goal score then I am not too sure if it'll help. If you're completely freaked you might bomb the MCAT because of this section and don't want to risk it but if you're constantly stuck below 125 on AAMC FL's or missing 3/5 on Q packs from many passages then seeking some structure and strategy will be more beneficial for you. Yes practice is key but what kind of practice you do is more beneficial.If you do 2 hours of CARS practice a day (timed passages, thorough review, thoughtful analysis) you'll be able to hit your target. Jack will tell you the same thing, except you'll pay him 2k.

More perspective is good- no argument taken. If $ isn't an issue, then by all means explore the resources available. At the end of the day it just comes down to work- whether one works hard using free resources available or not is up to each student.
