Gives lots of bonus points!

Super helpful!! Also, are these AAMC questions?

Great podcast, fun to listen to & amazing explanations. Thank you!!

Love listening when I’m in the car. Dr. Gray does an excellent job at breaking down information and making it stick!!

Good information but there is way too much unnecessary talking. It took over 12 minutes to answer one question and by the time they gave the right answer I forgot what the choices were because they talked so much in between.

It’s a waste of time to hear Ryan’s attempts at tackling these questions. He doesn’t remember the content and I’d rather hear a more in depth explanation from the guests who are actually knowledgeable.

I honestly don’t know if I could have done nearly as well on the MCAT without the insight this podcast gave me. Great resource for better understanding the reasoning that goes into answering MCAT questions. Dr. Gray really puts himself in the shoes of an MCAT test-taker and makes it feel less disappointing to get practice questions wrong. If I could give this 6 stars, I would. My only regret is not having listened sooner.

Great podcast! It has content but more importantly it has tips and tricks for solving problems, It looks at how to reason through the problems and text. I highly recommend nextstep/blueprint practice, they give explanations in the same way

Love this podcast (makes me feel like I’m not wasting my commutes) BUT I took NextStep Practice Exam 1 and recognized some of the questions from the podcast! You guys definitely need to give a heads-up on exam spoilers for people who are trying to get an accurate read of their scores (and so they can listen to the podcast after their practice exam)...!

Pros: the guests on the show are great. I have learned a ton from them, and appreciate the episodes where they teach concepts, such as the psych soc outline. I will keep listening for them. Cons: Dr. Grey, while very knowledgeable about the premed process and med school admissions, does not remember any basic science. It’s concerning that a doctor would not know basic concepts such as how insulin works and what hormones could cause glucose levels to rise. I completely understand not remembering the amino acids and the like, but man, his reasoning skills are often lacking. My suggestion would be to have the next step folks talk with a half-prepared premed student. They would be non-intimidating person to learn from, and would waste less of listeners’ time. I am bored of hearing “I don’t know where to start” after each question.

Love this podcast!!! I drive to school and it is really easy to listen to this podcast while doing that and other things. I really like that they give you time to think about the answer and talk through all the choices. It makes you feel as though you’re not wasting time in commuting or getting food prepared etc. — things that take up so much of the day. Thank you podcast makers!!!

I’m getting ready to retake the MCAT and I really wish I would’ve learned about this podcast earlier because not only have I learned fantastic tips and reasonings to look for on questions, I also just feel more confident in my content knowledge than I did the first time preparing. If someone wasn’t listening to this podcast, Ive recommended it to them by now because it has just helped me feel immensely more prepared even in the beginning stages of my studies. I have no doubt I’ll be ready by May and this podcast has really helped to boost my content confidence overall.

This is just one of the best MCAT podcast I have ever listened. Love Dr.Grey!

The episodes are short and easily digestible. They’re entertaining and help me feel productive even when I’m not actively studying for the exam.

I found the podcast very informative and the hosts certainly know a lot in the hard sciences. However, sometimes I disagree with their analysis because my recent studying does not match their logic or at least their definitions. For example, they said that increasing random error in an experiment is always bad, but that is the way you increase your statement of confidence. That is from Elementary Statistics, but maybe the MCAT just doesn’t cover that? Its good overall and highly recommended.

This podcast was a huge help during my summer studying. I know Dr. Gray’s podcast was a huge factor in my 12 point score increase along with many practice tests and my SMP courses. I mainly used the ‘discrete question’ episodes while driving to campus, but there are many helpful tips on test preparation and passage approach. Thank you Dr. Gray for developing such a helpful tool, and I’m really enjoying exploring some of your other podcasts such as Specialty Stories!

This has been one of the most helpful study resources I’ve found. Not only do they cover so much material, but they explain how to approach different questions and answers to optimize your success. Literally blew through the entire series in a week and a half because of how great it is!!!

Simply put this app is amazing and has plenty of FREE very useful information on the MCAT an absolute must for pre-med students!

This podcast was so helpful and entertaining! I just took the MCAT yesterday and this podcast definitely helped, especially with sociology. I really appreciate Dr. Gray coming up with questions that the students would ask, that was really helpful.

At first I was really hesitant about listening to an information loaded podcast-I thought it would be incredibly boring and not keep me awake while I was driving... but these podcasts are incredibly engaging and not only that, but give you tips for answering questions that actually work! Thank you for your work Dr. Gray-hoping to report a good MCAT score thanks to your resources!

I started listening to this podcast about a month ago. Since then, I have already seen my performance on practice tests increase. This is a great way to make use of commuting time or time when you are performing mindless tasks. They review full length MCAT tests in detail and provide explanations not only for correct answers but also for incorrect answers. In essence, you learn about 4 things (the 4 answers) per question they review. And since it's free, you really can't ask for much more than that. I would HIGHLY recommend this podcast to anyone taking the MCAT in the future.

I listen while I’m at work or commuting. Can’t believe it’s free. Would recommend to 100% everyone who is planning on taking the MCAT. The 1st few episodes were just general info but then it takes off into actual practice questions and explanations. Helped when I took my first full length practice.

I listen to this podcast when traveling or even at the beach so that I can be studying even when I’m not able to be in the library. Going through the passages and having detailed explanations is a really helpful way to keep the info that I’ve learned fresh in my mind.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast while driving. It makes the use of my time much more efficient. I love the practice podcasts can, because I can hear how Dr. Gray’s mind reasons through the questions that he may not necessarily know the content of. The NextStep tutor then does a great job explaining all the answers. It’s a nice way to get some practice in. Thanks Dr. Gray and NextStep!!

This podcast is so helpful! I actually love how Ryan goes though every question and attempts to answer them even if he doesn’t truly know the answer. Hearing how he would approach the question and how he reasons it out will be very helpful for me during my MCAT. I am currently enrolled in the Kaplan MCAT in person course and this podcast has honestly been more useful to me! I highly recommend! I have learned so much!

This podcast certainly has potential to be pretty good for on the go MCAT study. The episodes are short and to the point. BUT, Ryan Gray is absolutely intolerable. He does not know the answer to a single difficult question and offers absolutely zero insight beyond his educated guess and social awkwardness at every corner. Luckily there are guest speakers such as Brian and others who actually know what they are talking about and carry this show in its entirety. I truly am surprised Ryan is a MD in all honesty. Perhaps he is being facetious and knows more basic science than he portrays, but I haven’t seen any hard evidence of that thus far and am pretty tired hearing him random guessing and saying he ‘has no clue’. Not what you’d want to hear from your doctor, that’s for certain.

I appreciate this podcast because it helped me to find Next Step Test prep for my MCAT prep. Way cheaper compared to other top notch name brands and I feel like I got more content and practice materials than I would have gotten if I went with another test company. I love the way Brian and his team explains things. Hopefully all this prep will pay off! Hope this helps other just as it has helped me. I listen to these podcasts every time I'm in the car!

I turned this podcast on today during my hour drive to Physics. By the time I got there, I walked into class feeling motivated to learn! I will definitely keep listening and tuning in. The advice is priceless.

This podcast is amazing. I listen to it while I get ready for work everyday and during my drive, and it has been so helpful. Thanks Dr. Gray and Ryan!

This podcast helped me so much. I listened to every episode during my spare time and it did a world of good, supplementing the studying I was doing on my own. Just got my score back. 515! I would suggest this podcast to anyone. Bryan is invaluable and Ryan too! Thanks again!

When studying for the MCAT is hard enough, a premed student doesn’t need the extra challenge of navigating the “how-to” environment by his or herself. Work, family, and life obligations can easily leave one tired student feeling exhausted. I’m grateful for all of the hard work of the content creators and producers at the MCAT podcast because they keep me motivated and encourage me to think about how I study for tomorrow in addition to completing my tasks for today.

I really enjoyed this because I can actively learn opposed to passively learn when I’m too busy to sit and do questions or flash cards. It’s such an awesome resource for information on the mcat and also perfect for when you have horse or have to drive. Best podcast for the mcat hands down!

This podcast is amazing for motivation!! I would highly recommend to all of my fellow premeds out there! Brian does an excellent job at explaining the thought process behind each question while simultaneously giving study tips for general learning for the main MCAT topics. Dr. Grey makes you feel like you aren’t alone when you have no idea about the answer for the question and it really humanizes both the practice of medicine and the process of applying to medical school. Thanks so much for producing this podcast.

Bryan makes and carries this podcast (he really should just do it on his own). It's not that Ryan doesn't know MCAT content, which is fine, but it's that his conversation skills are lacking. Specifically when he replies to Bryan's thorough explanations with just an "..OK" or "easy." I think if he had better responses and was able to carry conversation better, the dialogue between them can lead to a more in depth explanation of MCAT topics/questions/passages/advice, as well as a more entertaining podcast to listen to overall.

I’m in the thick of studying for the MCAT. I listen to this podcast in the morning as a warm up before I start studying and it has helped me to take a deep breath and tackle questions with clarity.

for anyone taking MCAT. You cam quiz yourself and learn something new even while you’re driving

This is possibly the best podcast to help you set up for the MCAT. Ryan and Bryan are extremely helpful about all corners of the MCAT. A definite must if you want to bump up your MCAT score. They're also very helpful to pump you up and motivate you to do your homework. I love listening to this podcast on my way to work or if i'm just at my local coffee shop studying. The ony problem is that there aren't more episodes!

Great, great, GREAT information is presented here. I as well, had a late start in the MCAT prep process and it has been a deer in the headlights process. I have been all over the place with books and tests and questions with no real sense of direction. This podcast levels me out and brings me down into a place of planning and methodology. Keep up the great work!

These podcasts are great for learning how to approach questions and it really emphasizes that the MCAT is a reasoning exam!

I thoroughly have enjoyed listening to this podcast as I drive my morning and afternoon commutes. Currently studying to take the MCAT for the second time, and found that the advice and review of practice passages that I recently completed through the Next Step diagnostic were incredibly helpful. I only wish the podcasts were longer! And that we go over specific question types (for example...the dreaded Roman numeral questions, etc.) and the best strategies for each question type. Thank you so much for starting this podcast--a free MCAT resource that I can trust!! Looking forward to tuning in next week!

First of all, I really appreciate the hard work that Dr. Ryan Gray and his fellow partners have put on this podcast. I started listening to this podcast about two months ago and it really helped me out a lot not only about the MCAT but also what to really expect in Med School and etc... I really recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to be a physician even if they are still in High school. This podcast has some good quality information.

I always imagine Dr. Gray's podcast to be like a personal weekly phone call from a very knowledgable mentor. All of his podcasts are very "high yield" and beneficial to the aspiring Med student. The hardest part about listening to these is resisting the urge to write things down while driving down the highway!

I give it five stars and haven't even listened yet! The Premed Years and OldPreMed podcasts are fantastic so I know this one will be too. Dr. Gray always delivers high quality podcasts on an amazingly dedicated weekly schedule.

I'm so excited about this podcast! With the amazing Ryan Gray at the helm, I'm sure The MCAT Podcast will be just as helpful as the Premed Years. If you're taking the MCAT you should be waiting with bated breath for every episode!
