Motivated, disciplined students who believe they can succeed without the support of an experienced tutor-mentor. Although 1-on-1 mentoring is the key to Altius’ above-average score results, for intelligent, self-directed students the Classroom-Only program can be an effective and affordable alternative. This is the lowest-priced commercial MCAT course of its kind—by several hundred dollars. The Classroom-Only package includes a complete classroom course with over 105 hours of live instruction, including 25 hours of small-group tutoring, all for less than a standard lecture course. IMPORTANT NOTE: Altius' 90th-Percentile Score Guarantee applies only to our 1-on-1 Mentoring Courses (Silver, Gold or Platinum).

Did you know?
Altius MCAT materials are the only MCAT exam prep materials in the industry which have gone through a double-blind peer review process using 100% PhD content experts.
Altius was an outstanding MCAT course. I was impressed by how comfortable and familiar I became with the MCAT exam over the course of the program. Your program pushed me to study harder than I would have on my own and I gained a great respect for my tutors.
