Blueprint MCAT (Formerly Next Step Test Prep) Reviews 367

My tutor Colin Gardner was extremely helpful. He went above and beyond to ensure that I understood topics and that all of my questions were answered ( medical school application questions and content). Although the course videos and quizzes were helpful I feel that they were not as essential to my learning as the 1 on 1 sessions with Colin.

Ahmed was such a great tutor! He helped me craft a schedule that allowed me to feel fully ready and prepared by my test date, and he gave me so much confidence that I could perform well on that day. As a whole, I am so grateful for what Blueprint had to offer!

Ethan was a great tutor, he helped me find my weaknesses and we worked on how to overcome them. Each week we had a meeting and after each session I was able to look at the questions at a different angle and strategically find a way to the answer. Overall a great experience and I was able to improve my MCAT by 8 points in 3 months.

I really enjoyed the live class with Tim and Angela. As a nontraditional student, I don't have an advising department to go to or other pre-med students around me. Having these instructors to ask questions, hear real-world experiences, and get advice from was very helpful. You can also sign up for other instructor's classes and office hours and hear from a variety of perspectives.

Amazing package, has everything you need to get the score you need if you put in the work. Includes tons of lecture videos, books for each MCAT subject, access codes for official AAMC products, tons of practice tests, office hours, live lectures, tutoring, flash cards, and probably way more I’m forgetting off the top of my head. I got the 24 hour tutoring package and it was amazing. My tutor (Ahmed) was very easy to work with, was very flexible with me and was a master of each MCAT subject. Hands down the best product on the market.

I had a great experience with Noah H as my MCAT tutor. He was able to help me transform my score into the range I was looking to get into, which subsequently helped me get accepted to medical school. I thought Noah did a great job in all aspects of tutoring and was able to explain many concepts in unique ways. My 4/5 star rating is mainly due to the fact that I completed my test prep during the time NextStep transitioned to BluePrint, and I did not feel I had a full understanding of how to use the revamped website and resources to the best of my ability.

I started the blueprint course with 0 prior experience and with the help of Noah Heilenbach and the modules along with AAMC materials I increased my score from a 502 on the diagnostic exam to a 90th percentile score! I really liked the modules and it was really nice to have Noah explain the concepts I was still unsure about and go over practice tests with me.

I really liked the class with Emily. She’s super sweet and was willing to work with me outside of class as well and gave me a plan to work on for my weaknesses. During class her explanations were really good and I felt like I had a safe environment to ask any doubts or “dumb questions” without hesitation. I didn’t take much classes with Alex but as much as I did, he was very knowledgeable and gave good information about topics even if they’re outside of MCAT testing that helped me retain the major topics by knowing the background info.

Day 2 of doing the courses, I must say 100% dissatisfied. The quizzes are awful with great problems! The instructor doesn't go fully in-depth with the material, they just scratch the surface and then you are given quiz questions that are more difficult than the content given to you. I'm not happy because this was a huge investment and I feel more frustrated by the fact that most of the content is incorrect. I still haven't received my books yet either but I'm concerned that the content will also be wrong. Not happy I feel like I just wasted my own money.

This class saved me when I thought I could never commit to studying for the MCAT! The investment is 100% worth it. I did the live course and it kept me on track along with giving me access to real people to answer my questions, challenging practice problems, and engaging videos. My teachers Mitchell and Emily were great and helped me stay positive and encouraged during this stressful time! The content and strategy combination is also pretty unique to Blueprint I believe. The strategy component is what really helped me to increase my score. From my first diagnostic test to my last practice test, I have increased 20 points!!! I hope to keep my trend going as I embark on my MCAT this week.

I couldn't recommend this class enough! I took the class from June-August with Tanner and Pooja. The whole MCAT process has been really hard and it's even harder as a current college student to sit down after a 4 hour lab and watch a 2.5 hour class twice per week but Tanner and Pooja made it not only bearable but I looked forward to their class and knew I would get something out of it every time. Their personalized attention is amazing as well, I didn't expect to get half as much help as I've gotten and I feel like I owe them the world. Thank you Tanner and Pooja :)

I took Blueprint's live class and had Alex as my teacher. He was an incredible teacher and mentor throughout my studying process. He taught us many great tricks for easily understanding difficult concepts that stuck with me throughout my prep. I found his strategy tips excellent and critical for breaking through score plateaus and figuring out why I was getting things wrong. I really enjoyed his enthusiasm during class, passion for teaching students, and willingness to give personalized MCAT strategy advice. I highly recommend anyone interested in a live course to take his class!

I recently took the Live online course, and I had Tanner and Evan as my instructors! I couldn't have asked for better instructors for the MCAT, and they were both extremely knowledgable and always conveyed the information very well. The course is most certainly pricey but I thought it was worth it, and you can always find a promo code if you look for one online and message Blueprint. The course lends itself well if you do the modules along with it, and they provide really useful tips for strategy during the courses. We did CARS practice in every class and I found that to be especially useful. I recommend signing up for a class that Tanner or Evan are teaching if you get the chance!

I had Tanner and Pooja as instructors and they were phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about them or the advice/support they provided. They demystified the studying process into a strategic tangible process (and most importantly attainable!). Not only did my MCAT score increase, but most importantly my confidence in the overall material as well as fine tuning key test taking strategies.

Ahmed was my tutor and he was really great and supportive. He was patient, understanding, and receptive. He, of course, thoroughly explained the questions I did not understand and he was also very encouraging and positive which helped with the emotional and and anxiety-inducing aspects of the exam. Ahmed was also flexible, easy to reach, and communicative. I loved Blueprint's scheduled content review modules, because they forced me to cover different topics every day and supplement them with practice questions. I especially loved the office hours because they served as another form of content review where you could test your knowledge and get immediate answers to questions. They were highly specific too, covering the most high-yield topics and presenting them in an easy to understand manner. This was not my first time taking the MCAT and I was stuck at a plateau. The combination of the content review modules, office hours, and an excellent tutor helped me score higher than I ever have before.

I enrolled in Blueprint's live online classes and got Alex as my tutor. He was phenomenal! His passion for teaching and desire to have students succeed is evident. He was extremely knowledgeable and made even the most challenging material seem accessible. I cannot emphasize enough how great of a tutor Alex was!

Ahmed was a phenomenal tutor who was always up front with everything and was fantastic at adapting to ever changing situations. Ahmed also does a fantastic job dealing with the emotional and mental aspects of preparing for an exam like the MCAT.

My tutor was Ethan Bachert, and I could not have asked for a better tutor and experience with this company. He was not only dedicated to thoroughly explaining each question I was confused about during sessions, but also provided a lot of support in and outside of the sessions to make sure I understood the content and felt prepared for the exam itself. Overall, the materials Blueprint provides also set you up for success; the question banks and full length exams are significantly harder than the AAMC questions and passages, so you will definitely be over prepared for the actual exam (don’t stress about your score from the Blueprint practice FL exams, they’re usually lower than what you would get on the AAMC exams, but they do prepare you).

I enrolled in 1:1 tutoring and had Hunter Enright as my tutor. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Hunter :) He had a very targeted approach & was able to help me focus on my weaknesses in terms of test-taking strategy. Every session, we worked through passages together and he was very mindful of the things that tend to trip me up/ helped me work through those things and develop confidence while doing so. I highly recommend Blueprint and Hunter, as he was really a phenomenal tutor!

Blueprint MCAT gave me an excellent tutor, Calvin O'Donnell. Calvin will find ways to work with a student specific to the student's needs. He is always flexible, motivating, and encouraging and has good strategies for teaching his students. He is very organized and prepared to teach and help his students in any way he can in order to help his students reach their goal MCAT score. He is very friendly and approachable and very quick to respond to your emails as well.
