COURSE RATING

Train your critical analysis and reasoning skills

with the tailored CARS MCAT section course

The CARS section on the MCAT can be tricky to study for. Instead of recalling memorized content, you’re faced with new texts and need to understand and interpret them.

This course will teach you effective strategies to approach and correctly answer CARS questions:

  • You will master systematic diagramming tools to map out a CARS passage into its parts.
  • You will learn how passage-and-question sets work and how to identify the point the authors are trying to make.
  • Step-by-step question walkthroughs will give you plenty of practice examples to make tackling CARS questions a routine.

First, a series of Video Lessons paired with Recall Quizzes will guide you through the theoretical foundations of critical analysis and reasoning. Then, the CARS passage walkthroughs will show you exactly how to apply these strategies in practice.

Finally, you can apply what you’ve learned in the included realistic MCAT Qbank with over 1150 CARS practice questions and get ready for test day!

“Hello, I scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT CARS section and I design MCAT courses for a living. Let’s discuss what makes this section unique and what you can expect!”

"Really Love Lecturio for content review and better understanding of content! I use Altius for my MCAT course book, but learn better with watching videos. You guys line up pretty well with their content and it makes it easy to follow! I also love the examples that make it relatable."

FAQs

What is CARS (MCAT)?

CARS stands for Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills and is a section on the MCAT exam testing your ability to comprehend social science and humanities journal article excerpts.

What's a safe MCAT CARS strategy?

While, the CARS section requires no outside knowledge, reading social science and humanities texts is a good way to accustom yourself with the style and processing information in this way. Read texts actively – this is not the time for speed-reading. Creating a routine in understanding what point an author is trying to convey will prime you for getting through the CARS question sets more smoothly. Additionally, diagramming tools as mapped out in this course can give you a solid, systematic strategy how to approach each question and give you security on exam day.

Does this course contain MCAT CARS practice questions?
