Kaplan MCAT review: the most practice tests and formats, at a premium
Kaplan’s MCAT courses start at $1,599 for On Demand and run to $7,299 for its Bootcamp. Every course includes 21 full-length practice tests (14 Kaplan and 7 AAMC), a 3,000+ question bank and seven review books, and most carry a score guarantee.
Based on Kaplan’s own MCAT comparison page (verified by Kaplan in September 2026), checked October 11, 2026. We have not tested the course hands-on, so this review has no score.

Guarantees
- Higher Score Guarantee on On Demand, Live Online, In Person and Private Tutoring: a refund or free reactivation if your official score does not improve, if you complete the required work.
- 515+ or 15-point guarantee on the 515+ Course, Bootcamp and Premium Tutoring. Conditions include attending every session, eight full-length exams and testing within 60 days of your last class.
What to watch for
- Price. The entry course is $1,599, higher than UWorld or Blueprint’s self-paced options.
- Guarantee conditions are demanding; read them before relying on one.
- Be careful with Kaplan’s “#1” claims. Kaplan cites a review site that it discloses is a Kaplan affiliate.
