This keeps the validity of the questions intact because anyone can inform Khan Academy of false information. Also, Khan Academy provides an option to “report a problem” with each question. They don’t imitate actual MCAT questions as well as the AAMC official guide does, but they do help stimulate your thought process in order to get a better grasp of the material. This is a more active form of learning than simply reading the provided explanation.Īs far as the quality of the questions goes, they seem to be kind of tricky. When you get a question wrong and you can’t figure out why you will end up going back to the material to figure out why you got that question wrong. However, it’s free, and as I mentioned before: you can never have too many practice problems.Įven though there aren’t explanations of the problems, one can make the argument that this will force you into doing more research on a topic. They don’t have explanations as to why the answer is correct or incorrect. The Khan Academy MCAT practice questions were okay. This can really help with understanding certain things that weren’t so clear on paper. Not to mention, it’s all video and visual representations.
Khan Academy helps slow things down so that you can be in union with the foundation of each subject. I find that the Kaplan material can get a little confusing when you start soaking in lots of material from multiple subjects. Khan Academy organizes their information differently than Kaplan I believe that when studying a heavy topic (such as the MCAT) it is useful to learn the material from multiple perspectives in order to help solidify the information.Īdditionally, the Khan Academy videos present the material in a simple, yet thorough manner which really helps reinforce the basics. I originally started with Kaplan’s complete box set, and then I decided to watch the Khan Academy videos to get another angle on certain subjects. Personally, I find the Khan Academy videos very helpful.
