MCAT Test Preparation Courses All Across Canada
|
|
The recent redesign of the MCAT exam involves a complete rewrite of the entire test with new question types as well as a 50% increase in length. Given the level of quality courses that we have been providing since 1992, until our curriculum is fully revised to reflect this thoroughly redesigned MCAT, Oxford Seminars is not offering any MCAT test preparation courses for the 2016 testing period.
Proven Test-Taking Strategies
Our highly trained, dynamic MCAT Preparation instructors focus on effective test-taking strategies. We thoroughly review all topics covered by the MCAT. During our courses, you will be exposed to a variety of strategies which include:
-
reviewing specific scientific principles
-
effective problem solving in physics, chemistry, and biology
-
synthesizing concepts and ideas
-
critical reading of passages
-
drawing proper inferences and deductions
-
learning to recognize wrong answer types
-
working strategically under strictly timed conditions
-
developing an effective personal study schedule
In order to expose you to the latest MCAT test format, questions from recent MCAT tests will be taken up in class. Our written materials are constantly updated to reflect the most recent changes in the MCAT. Thus, you will be able to evaluate your own strengths and weaknesses and focus on those areas where you need the most practice.
Convenient Weekend Schedule
Our comprehensive weekend courses let you concentrate in an atmosphere free from distractions and interruptions. Our MCAT test preparation course costs $595 plus tax (22-hour) and $845 plus tax (40-hour) and both are conveniently held on university campuses in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, and Ontario including Calgary, Edmonton, Guelph, Halifax, Hamilton, Kingston, London, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, and Winnipeg. We stand firmly behind our total immersion approach to MCAT test preparation.
Limited Class Size
In order to ensure a low student-to-instructor ratio, our MCAT courses have a limited enrollment with spaces allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. The small class size provides a comfortable setting with ample opportunity for interaction with our talented and experienced MCAT course instructors.
