§·OUR REVIEW

Altius is an MCAT-only provider built around 1-on-1 mentoring. Its mentoring page lists 10 Altius full-length exams alongside the available AAMC practice tests, and the provider says its practice exam software is "statistically identical" to the AAMC exam. Each practice exam purchase includes one year of access.

It is expensive. The 1-on-1 Mentoring Elite Classroom Course starts at $2,699, and the Silver, Gold and Platinum mentoring packages cost $3,799, $4,999 and $7,499. The provider says its mentoring costs on average "60% less" than competitors' programs; we have not verified that comparison.

Best for

MCAT students who want 1-on-1 mentoring and a large set of full-length practice exams.

Not for

Students on a tight budget; programs start at $2,699.
