Damon was so kind and patient with me. He gave me a very thorough plan on how to continue my MCAT studying without trying to sell me anything. In fact, he made sure that I was using the materials that... See more

Damon was excellent! He truly took time to listen and was very encouraging. I look forward to utilizing the course in the near future.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The bundle is quite good at explaining high yield concepts. However, it is very basic and does not contain content (such as organ systems and brain regions) that would be very helpful to know. I would... See more

10/10 Experience :)

With one month left before my exam, I was feeling overwhelmed by all that I needed to study and felt really lost in direction. But even in a short time, Damon was really attentive to my concerns, providing great tips + strategies and helping me narrow my focus for my last month of review! It is clear that he’s very experienced in what he does and those that he helps! Would highly recommend to anyone studying!

Ifd your MCAT study buddy

Ifd was extremely transparent and friendly. Additionally, they were willing to sit through and answer any concerns I had, which tbh is impressive.
Damon, the person I met from IFD was awesome, he went overtime with our consultation making sure that I had zero concerns about their program.

21 Point Score Increase Thanks to IFD - Believe the Hype!!

For anyone wondering if they should purchase a review course from IFD, I *highly* recommend! I always struggled with reviewing exams bc the AAMC explanations are lacking to say the least. John and Maggie’s full length review course was worth every penny! Especially for CARS! They do an amazing job of breaking down the passage/question in a way that makes it relatable and more understandable to start improving on full lengths - and for like a TENTH of the cost of a big box MCAT course😅 I saw huge improvement in my practice exams and I retook my mcat last week, so I obviously don’t have the score back yet, but it was still worth it to go into the exam feeling more confident knowing I had some strategies under my belt!

Edit: I got my score back the other day and it’s FINALLY competitive enough to apply! I went up 8 points since last year and 21 points since 2 years ago. Not a doubt in my mind it was bc of this program! 10/10 recommend!

2nd edit: Just received my first interview invite! Hopefully a few more to come thanks to IFD!

Damon Cox

I had a zoom meeting with Damon who helped me think through my plan for studying for the MCAT. He helped me so much during our zoom call and left me his email to ask more questions. Very helpful, I would greatly recommend!

He was awesome

He was awesome, explained well, and didn’t try crazy hard to upsell, but let the product speak for himself. I think I’ll be buying come time

John and Maggie are absolutely amazing

John and Maggie are absolutely amazing! Their YouTube channel makes the MCAT so much easier to understand and accessible for everyone. The way they explain complex topics with clarity and encouragement really helps students feel confident and supported. I’m deeply thankful for the time, care, and effort they put into every video—they’re truly making a difference for future doctors.

10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND

Damon was able to outline a study schedule for me that allowed me to study while also working full time. It was absolutely perfect, and John & Maggie's high yield guide brought my score up 25 points!! I would absolutely recommend this study tool to anyone who is about to start studying for the MCAT.

Specify specific currency

Well, my sister bought it for her studying and said it was 80 dollars, but it ended up charging me 114 CAD instead. So when I saw it one day I called my bank and asked them to recheck the large charge (i'm broke), and almost closed my card until I realised it was from her Mcat thing. I believe your page does not specify the currency? Anyways, that was just a headache for me. Can I get a half refund for this? That large transaction is killing me

Amazing Service, Excellent and Committed Staff

During my 15 min session Damon was able to pin point exactly where I was faltering on my full lengths. Offered tangible paid AND free solutions to meet students wherever they are at. Damon was super knowledgeable of the MCAT and a great listener if I wasn’t 2 weeks out from my Exam I would have definitely invested in their resources ahead of time.

Damon was so incredibly helpful and honest.

Meeting with Damon was so helpful and he was very patient and extremely helpful. He was honest and it was obvious that he wasn't just trying to get me to spend money, rather he was trying to find the best way to get me to my target score. It was that honesty that made me want to spend more. Awesome experience.

I met with Damon Cox for advising on my last 3 weeks of studying for the MCAT. His guidance was professional, clear, and most importantly encouraging. I left feeling like achieving my goal was possible if hard work is maintained. I am very impressed with him and thankful for his time.

Material is respectfully and thoughtfully tailored to a normal pre-med

I watched the YouTube videos, and bought the HighYield Sciences and Math Bundle. I cannot describe how much I appreciate the effort that went into making this material. I found your YouTube while looking for explanations for a practice test section I was reviewing and I was hooked from there. The explanations in the videos and written materials are given in a way that feels like a peer is talking to me. I don't feel like I am being taught as if I should already know something nor do I feel material is unnecessarily drawn out. I feel like my time and money was efficiently spent. Thank y'all for all of your hard work! (still awaiting my test as I wrote this!)

IFD Math Book

Math has never been a strong point of mine but the math book has helped significantly by boiling down complex topics to simple, actionable steps. I highly recommend this book to anyone. Perfect balance of detail and clear/concise explanations. Thank you

A great investment for your future: IFD High Yield course

I decided to purchase the High Yield MCAT Course after finding IFD on YouTube. I really liked how they broke down the info for content review and passage walkthroughs in the videos and honestly wished there were more of them to cover the rest of the topics. Sometimes, it's just the wording of a content creator that helps you learn better, and these videos helped me retain the info for the long term.

They cover how to use Anki as well as strategies that helped me pick up points on practice CARS passages, as well as Organic Chem and Physics. For someone who has a full work-study schedule, just rewatching these videos and carrying out the strategies helped me increase my score by 9 points on AAMC practice exam 2. I just wish they would make videos on low-yield topics as well. I will be purchasing their IFD Mastery course primarily for the UWorld and CARS unlimited combo to do well on my first attempt.

A Game-Changer for Serious MCAT Students

I only recently discovered Informing Future Doctors (IFD), and I truly have nothing but great things to say. From their free YouTube content to their High-Yield MCAT course, the entire IFD team have had a real impact on my prep journey.

What first drew me in was their honesty. Their videos didn't just give recycled tips- they gave realistic, strategic, and feasible advice for me to tackle the MCAT exam. I appreciated how genuine they were about what actually works. That honesty is what led me to take the next step and purchase their High-Yield course- and I'm so glad I did.

The course is brilliantly structured. It doesn't waste your time on fluff. It focuses on what truly matters for a high MCAT score- the high-yield, must know content. It helps you lock-in the most-likely testable concepts. It's tailored to your schedule, your skill level, and your goals, which made it an incredibly efficient and personalized experience.

A special shoutout to Damon, who worked directly with me. From the very beginning, he took the time to actually get to know me- my goals, my timeline, my study habits- and curated a plan that made sense for me. It didn't feel like I was just being sold a product. It felt like someone was in my corner, genuinely trying to help me succeed. Damon was honest, encouraging, down-to-earth and willing to help- all while being a new dad, which made his dedication even more admirable. That mentorship, that authenticity- it meant a lot.

If you're a pre-med who absolutely needs a good MCAT score that craves accountability, structure, and a smarter way to study- especially if you're on a tight budget- I can't recommend IFD's High-Yield MCAT course enough. This team genuinely cares about your success, both on the MCAT and in your journey toward becoming a physician. I'm filled with nothing but positivity and gratitude toward the entire IFD team. To the IFD team- thank you for the knowledge, guidance, and the support. On behalf of all the unsure, overwhelmed, ambitious premeds out there: THANK YOU!
