RED PEN PREP Open the course

Two answers sound right. One is a trap.

Red Pen Prep is MCAT practice that shows its work: for every answer, the sentence, the table cell or the principle that decides it, and the name of the trap behind every wrong choice.

How we check. Before a passage goes live, its questions are solved again, blind, by reviewers who never see the key, and every answer has to come out the same as the key. That is our own internal check.

We don't have student reviews yet. They'll appear here when we do.

Item 4 The fine print

Questions

14-day full refund
Is this official AAMC material?

No. These are original passages and items written for Red Pen Prep, and the trap names are our teaching tool, not an official AAMC list. Use the official AAMC practice material too: it comes from the people who write the exam.

How do I get in after I pay?

Your license key arrives in your receipt email. Open the course, enter the key, and everything in the Pass opens. The key works on up to 3 devices or browsers at a time. Your progress is saved in the browser you work in.

What if it isn't helping me?

Give it a real try: a few passages, the prove-it step, the review of your misses. If within 14 days you decide it isn't helping you, write to our support address and you get a full refund. Once the refund is issued, your license key stops working.

Do new passages and modules cost extra?

No. New CARS passages and timed sections, more Bio/Biochem, and the Chem/Phys and Psych/Soc modules open on the same key as each one passes our checks. We don't promise dates.

How does the founder price work?

It's the same Pass with the same updates. One payment, not a subscription.
