Blueprint MCAT (Formerly Next Step Test Prep) Reviews 367

Love the course. It was not only very flexible but the material was easy to take in via video. Overall great experience. Transitioned between tutors but they were both great. Naveen was someone I was able to connect with better. He is very dedicated to his students and offers a realistic expectations to them. He took time outside of the tutoring to guide me through the MCAT and also the application process. Very caring and understanding of different journeys. 💛

A year ago I took the MCAT and scored a 499. After months of studying I was very disappointed and ultimately did not get accepted into med school. I decided to try again and this time I used Blueprint MCAT Prep Online Course. When I bought the course I had exactly 3 months until my next test date. This time around I had a lot of anxiety about not scoring well, again. However, I scored a 511! I am so thrilled and thankful for Blueprint Prep. I believe it helped me understand challenging topics and gave me the confidence I needed to succeed on the MCAT. Thank you Blueprint! I have been telling all my friends to use Blueprint.

I love Blueprint! I got a 497 on my half-length diagnostic, and I got a 520 on my actual MCAT using their materials. The videos were super helpful, and I liked the live class sessions. Honestly, the content of the live classes themselves wasn't the most helpful, but I liked the solidarity it created with the other students. Even after the class ended, we would share study tips and encouragement in the group chat.

"If Blueprint has 100 fans, I am one of them. If Blueprint has one fan, I am that fan. If Blueprint has no fans, that's because I am dead. And if the world is against Blueprint, then I am against the world."

Okay funny stuff, but in all seriousness, I would recommend Blueprint to literally anyone and everyone who will listen. Last year, I used a different test prep company, and I scored a 498 on the real thing in May of 2021. I was crushed, but in all reality, I should not have been surprised. The course was not designed for specific needs, whereas BP was. I felt like I was in total control of my study schedule and what I needed to study. The "test-out" option for the content review modules is wonderful so 1) you can see what you need to work on before going in and 2) you don't have to waste time on things you don't need to review.

BP (NS) exams were also so wonderful. Some of them are a bit harder than the AAMC, but that helped me in the long run just due to the context of the material AND the fact that I had to train myself to focus during passages that I did not understand.

I finally got my score back from my most recent MCAT attempt and landed a 514!! A 16 point increase!! BP really lives up to their expectations (even exceeds them), and I will 100% recommend them 100% of the time!

Blueprint’s layout, along with Ahmed, my Blueprint tutor, gave me the tools I needed to tackle the MCAT to the best of my ability. I received a score that was actually above my goal score. It wasn’t easy. I put in many hours of hard work.

But Blueprint’s format guided me through the massively broad collection of topics I needed to know by test day. When I wasn’t certain about my understanding, I brought it up in a meeting with Ahmed, who helped walk me through it. When I needed help setting or modifying my study schedule, my tutor and the blueprint system itself were invaluable in their ease of use and knowledge of strategy.

I recommend Blueprint because it guides you in a study strategy that is conducive to MCAT logic. That is, it first teaches you the fundamental concepts, and then connects these concepts. Once you have these broader concepts mastered, and once you can see how they relate to one another, Blueprint then dives into some of the more specific pieces of information that require memorization by test day.

If you have the financial means to invest in an MCAT program, and if you commit to doing your part (the single biggest factor for your success), then I suggest investing in Blueprint.

I had Evan and Joya as instructors and they were both amazing. They cared about their students a lot and really took the time to help each of us. I would highly recommend taking this course!

This was a great class, Joya and Evan were amazing instructors!

I had Tanner and Angela as instructors and they were absolutely amazing. Not only did they teach content effectively, but they also taught us strategy that helped me tremendously when answering questions. Not to mention, they kept the class so fun. I am really grateful for the experience I've had with the Blueprint live online course and recommend it to anyone wanting a leg up on the MCAT.

I did the 6 month Live Online Course and I can NOT say enough GREAT things about it. My instructors were Tanner and Angela (with some others occasionally), and I felt like every session was 2.5 hours with them of pushing me closer and closer to my dream of becoming a doctor was totally worth it. They did an amazing job, were always accessible through email, and the course structure was fantastic. My goal MCAT score is within reach thanks to them!!!

Working with Steven through Blueprint was the best decision I made while preparing. He worked with my schedule, was very attentive to my study skills, and is a great teacher. In just 8 weeks working with Steven I boosted my MCAT score by 10 points. He listened to my thought process and worked with me versus working in a manner that was easiest for himself. He introduced me to various study tools such as Anki. His homework prescriptions were very helpful in keeping me on task and ensuring I was getting the material completed.

Tanner and Angela made the Live MCAT classes enjoyable and were very helpful on how to improve my MCAT strategies. They always provided insightful feedback and were easily reachable for help.

If you have trouble with CARS, they are the best. Tanner is also super smart and teaches his test taking strategies on top of blueprints. Super helpful and would highly recommend this instructor.

Amazing!! He kept the class engaged and I genuinely looked forward to sessions every week :)

Tanner and Angela are great! Quality materials. I used separate Anki deck tho, which helped a lot with managing content.

Awful costumer service and the staff is super rude. They responded to their own website's problem with terrible attitude. There're many options out there with similar practice test package, all third party mcat preps are about the same, explore other options first.

I did a lot of research before picking an MCAT Prep program, and I definitely made the right choice by picking Blueprint. For someone who struggles without a set plan, the color-coded calendar was extremely helpful for getting through all the material in time. My tutor Ethan than was very patient, easy to talk to, and helped me find faults in my reasoning that I would not have recognized otherwise. Overall, I highly recommend using the Blueprint MCAT Prep program.

I loved the study plan that was generated for me. It really helped me stay on track with learning the information so that I knew everything before my exam. I didn't have a lot of time to prepare and could only spend a limited amount of time per day so it was really helpful to know what I needed to get done. The textbooks were also great; not too detailed to make them overwhelming!

I used Blueprint for both their MCAT course and admissions counseling. The MCAT course helped tremendously with study and test-taking tactics that allowed me to improve my score by 11 points.

Noah Heilenbach was my admissions counselor and he was incredibly helpful in improving my application and coaching me through the admissions process. I had no idea how complex the process was until I began to apply and he simplified it for me and allowed me to create a competitive application. Overall, I had a wonderful experience using Blueprint for MCAT Prep and admissions counseling, and I cannot thank them enough for preparing me to be a competitive medical school applicant.

Nathan from customer support was great. He actively worked with my situation and was very understanding. Extremely polite, professional, and helpful. Thank you Nathan : )

I had Alaka as my tutor, and she was wonderful! She explained concepts clearly, was always prepared for class, and gave very helpful advice. My score increased by 18 points!
