If you are putting in three or four hundred hours of MCAT prep and your score is not moving, the issue is almost never effort. It is what you are doing with the hours. My focus as a tutor is helping you spend each session on the parts of studying that actually change your score, which is usually a careful look at why you are missing the questions you miss.
I scored a 517 in 178 hours of preparation, well under what most students put in, and that happened because every week was built around...

I scored a 517 in 178 hours of preparation, well under what most students put in, and that happened because every week was built around the same loop: targeted content review, practice passages, and then honest written reflection on every wrong answer the same day. In the second half of my prep, I was taking a full-length AAMC every week and treating the review of that test as more important than the test itself. I can help you build a structure like this around your own schedule, and I will sit with you through the review so you can see how to do it on your own.
For background, I am an incoming medical student at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, admitted through the NJIT-NJMS combined BS/MD program. I completed my undergraduate at NJIT in three years in the data science track. My tutoring experience comes from working with NJIT undergraduates in computer science, where I worked to find exactly where a student's logic broke down rather than handing them an answer. That is the approach I want to bring to our sessions, whether you are just starting prep or trying to sharpen what is already working.
