I'm looking to sign up for an MCAT prep course for the april mcat. Kaplan, Examkrackers, and princeton are all near me, only i don't know which one to take. i've heard some not so good things about kaplan, and nothing really about princeton. any opinions?

EK all the way!

Although since alot of your learning has to do with the quality of your instructors, I think it varies. If you can find out who your potential instructors are (from classmates, the companies, etc.) then you might be able to make a more informed decision. But based on material alone, I like EK (please note they are still deficient in areas like genetics, organic, and biochem--not a big deal considiering this information is not hard to come by)

Good luck 👍

I actually took princeton and absolutely loved it. My score improved alot, the first practice i took was 21 and i ended up getting 34 on the real thing. I'm ESL, so verbal was tough for me. Everything depends on what is your style of studying. Personally I liked the structure of the class and homework...pm me if you have questions. :luck:
 
I used Examkracker books (didn't take the course) and the way the books were set up, plus the pointers on what would and wouldn't be tested, were awesome and matched my style of learning exactly. I have scanned other mcat-prep books and they look so uninviting and boring! Examkrackers (Salty!) made me laugh too :laugh:
