Kaplan Announcement

This message is from Kaplan Test Prep

Anyone who enrolls in a Kaplan MCAT course in January will receive an automatic free repeat for any other test date in 2008.  In other words, students who sign up in January in preparation for an April, May or June test date can re-sit classes over the summer in preparation for a late summer test date (July, August, or September) as well for no additional charge (normally $499). This is especially beneficial for students who were planning to take the exam this summer but want to get an early start.  Students can start now as we have classes beginning January 22 and January 23 and do whatever their available time will allow them and return to take advantage of the entire program this summer.  

Students can enroll by calling 1-800-KAP-TEST, visiting the Kaplan website or by stopping by the Kaplan Center located in Suite 201 of the UB Commons.

MCAT Registration Dates for April/May 2008

The administrators of the MCAT have announced that they expect to open registration for the April and May MCAT administration dates NEXT Wed, December 5.   At this time they cannot announce a specific time of day for the opening. 

Please note that taking the MCAT in April, May or early June is strongly advised *if* you are adequately prepared.  It also leaves time for you to take the exam an additional time if necessary. Because the applicant pool continues to increase nationally, you will want to register for the MCAT early to help assure your desired test date and location.
