New Advanced Preparation for Advanced Students Facing the Rigorous Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)

 (New York, NY February 2002)--Fewer than 40 percent of students who apply to medical school each year get accepted. For the 1999-2000 academic year, Johns Hopkins Medical School received 3,717 applications for their 186 slots for an acceptance rate of just 5 percent. A student's MCAT score is one of the two most important factors considered by medical school admissions officers (the other is GPA). Kaplan's MCAT 45 (Kaplan/Simon & Schuster; March 2002; $25.00) is designed for students aiming to score in the top ten percent on the rigorous Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and get accepted to a top medical school.

MCAT 45 is part of Kaplan's Perfect Score Series. The "45" in the title represents a perfect score on the MCAT exam. Other titles in the series include GMAT 800 and LSAT 180. These preparation guides are designed to be companion products to Kaplan's comprehensive review books or programs.

To offer students the most rigorous review, experts within Kaplan's Medical Division pored over MCAT materials to create the most challenging preparation book available on the market. Kaplan's MCAT 45 provides the extra tactics and advanced practice students need to get their absolute maximum score.

"Not for the faint at heart, this book is advanced prep for advanced students," said Albert Chen, Executive Director, Kaplan Graduate Programs. "For students who want to get into their top choice schools, they absolutely need the highest possible score on this exam. From our long history with the MCAT, we can identify and deconstruct many of the test's most difficult questions."

Kaplan's MCAT 45 features:
The Toughest Questions: Practice with "high-octane" questions-the toughest questions students will see on the test. Comprehensive explanations and tips and techniques for answering each question quickly and accurately are included.
The Hardest Science: Targeted review with specially designed practice sets containing the hardest science concepts on the MCAT.
The Strongest Strategies: Kaplan experts take apart complicated passages and offer powerful strategies for every question type on every section of the MCAT. These strategies show how to get the most points in the least amount of time. 

Kaplan's MCAT 45 is available wherever books are sold.
