Altius Perfect-Match MCAT-2015 Practice Tests
The one MCAT-2015 preparation tool no examinee should ever go without!
The MCAT-2015 practice tests offered by big-box prep companies are inaccurate
Achieving excellence at any endeavor requires practice. However, practicing with the wrong materials does more harm than good. Currently, there are only two scored AAMC practice exams available, leaving students desperate for accurate MCAT-2015 practice. Test prep companies have been quick to produce practice tests, but our industry-leading analytics clearly demonstrate that these materials do not accurately prepare you for what you will actually see on test day. In fact, they aren’t even close. But don’t take our word for it; compare practice test passages side-by-side for yourself by viewing the slideshow below.

A preparatory tool no MCAT-2015 examinee should go without
If you wanted to be a professional basketball player, you’d consider it a necessity to practice with a correctly-sized ball and a regulation 10-foot hoop. If your dream was to become an Olympic Gold Medalist in the breaststroke, you’d want to practice in an Olympic-sized swimming pool, not your neighbor’s kiddie pool. If you want to become a physician, you should consider it a necessity to have access to the only MCAT-2015 practice materials that exactly replicate the real thing.

The Altius materials were always spot on—the new MCAT-2015 practice tests especially—they were very accurate and very representative of my real MCAT. I have seen the other practice tests out there and they are nothing like MCAT-2015. If you want the most representative MCAT-2015 material out there, Altius is your best bet, by far.

When people ask me how my MCAT went, I say I felt comfortable. I know that sense of comfort was a direct result of having practiced with the Altius full-length practice tests. Those tests were exactly the same as what I experienced on test day. And it wasn’t just the formatting on the page, or where the buttons were located; the content was identical. In fact, while I was taking the test I remember thinking “This could be an Altius full-length practice test.

One of the greatest aspects of the Altius program is the MCAT-2015 Practice Tests. Having taken the real MCAT now, I realize that they were amazing! They prepare you better than you could ever hope to be prepared for the real exam. They challenge you, and teach you to think in the way that you need to for the MCAT.
