MCAT Critical Analytics and Reasoning (CARS) Skills Course 2

The Biggest Change to
the MCAT in 20 Years is Here!


A New MCAT Section:
Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills

WHAT
IS
CARS?

Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS) is a new MCAT section coming in January 2015 that replaces Verbal Reasoning. CARS will test your independent thinking skills with challenging passages in the humanities and social sciences.

It's longer, more difficult, and will require much more preparation than Verbal Reasoning!

What You Need to Know About CARS

  • 90 minutes -- Up from 60 minutes
  • 60 questions -- Up from 40 questions
  • 10 total passages from humanities and social sciences
  • Longer, more difficult, and more skills required than Verbal Reasoning

CARS Will be Dramatically Different Than
the old Verbal Reasoning Test

Different Format

The CARS test is longer than the old Verbal Reasoning test. You will need to master speed techniques and fatigue control.

Different Skills

CARS places much more emphasis on the most challenging types of comprehension questions.​

Different Preparation

The prep techniques that worked for Verbal Reasoning won't work for CARS. You'll need an entirely new strategy.

What's Inside the Course!

Three New Skills You Need to Master For CARS

  • Foundations of Understanding - 30% of test questions
  • Reasoning Within the Text - 30% of questions
  • Reasoning Beyond the Text - 40% of questions

How to Beat CARS: Earn Your Highest Score

Mastermind the CARS Format

​CARS will throw 60 questions in only 90 minutes, so you need to be fast and accurate. You need to understand the format of the test beginning-to-end, so you can be speed through every twist and turn without wasting a moment.

Practice! Read Passages and Questions

The only way that you can be confident that you'll be able to answer 60 CARS questions in 90 minutes is to do it in real life practice sessions. Here's the problem -- The old Verbal Reasoning practice passages won't work! You need the right practice passages for the right test, so throw out those Verbal Reasoning practice books and get your hands on some CARS-specific test prep materials.

Beat the Test at its Own Game

CARS is one big logic puzzle you can solve if you learn how to look beyond the passage text and see the test for what it really is: A game designed by test writers to trick and confuse you. Learn how to manipulate the logic of the test and you'll consistently score higher than the premeds who take the test at face value.

What Are Your Test Prep Options?

The big test-prep companies promise to seamlessly integrate CARS prep into their existing summer intensive programs, which are 6-week live courses.

Test
Prep
Books

The test-prep book industry is rushing to print new 2015 MCAT materials, but they only give you a glancing look at CARS. Most of the 2015 MCAT test prep books I've reviewed don't give you the CARS focus you need.

Price: $80 - $200​
