IDH 3034 U17: Strategic MCAT Mastery

This course is a collaborative effort between the FIU Honors College, the Office of Pre-Health Advising, and Kaplan, combining expert content instruction with in-person strategy coaching and structured accountability for preparation for the MCAT.

The class includes a weekly 2.5-hour in-person meeting and a 14-week, 3-hour-per-week Kaplan Live Online course led by Kaplan’s expert instruction team. In-class time is dedicated to strategic application of content, metacognitive development, error analysis, time management, and targeted improvement of section-based weaknesses.

This Honors seminar treats the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) preparation not as simple content review, but as strategic performance training. Through structured diagnostics, reflective recalibration, student-generated materials, and guided use of Kaplan’s MCAT platform, students will develop the cognitive discipline, metacognitive awareness, and strategic thinking required to excel on the MCAT and navigate the medical school application process intentionally.
