HOME STUDY PACKAGE
I just wanted to give my vote of confidence to Gold Standard prep. I just got my MCAT scores back and I am very happy: PS 9 VR 11 BS 14. Composite: 34Q! I never dreamed of scoring that high, and I credit Gold Standard with making it possible. I bought the home study package; I spent hours and hours the month before the test watching the DVD's and taking notes; it was almost like having a private tutor. Thanks Dr. Ferdinand!

GOLD STANDARD BOOK AND ONLINE TESTS
The Gold Standard offers to prospective medical students hard-earned advice from someone who has gone through the process himself. Dr. Ferdinand demystifies the path to acceptance to medical school, allowing applicants to adequately prepare themselves.

DVD LECTURES
The Gold Standard MCAT Videos are a great way to supplement preparation for the MCAT. I would also highly recommend these DVDs to anyone taking AP or college-level Physics, Biology, Organic Chemistry, or General Chemistry. The lectures are very well-organized and each of the main topics is clearly explained by Dr. Brett Ferdinand. Plus the DVD menus are easy to navigate. These DVDs are a must have for anyone who gets bored just reading about these subjects!

GOLD STANDARD BOOK
When preparing for application to medical school, this book would have been of great use to me. The majority is geared to the body of knowledge which is demanded of applicants in the physical and biological sciences. It is very well done.

STREAMING VIDEOS
What you are doing is not a job but a true service to med students. I am VERY happy with the videos. I will recommend these to ALL of my friends to purchase from your website. I wish there was a way I could explain my gratitude!

GOLD STANDARD BOOK
I relied almost exclusively on my 1st and 2nd year knowledge and textbooks, and "The Gold Standard MCAT Text" by Dr. Brett Ferdinand. In my opinion, The Gold Standard is a must-have, with comprehensive review notes on all the MCAT topics including sample tests and answers. In addition, the sample questions tended to be of a slightly higher calibre than the actual MCAT, which means you study to a higher level than is really necessary. I believe this to be ideal, as you are less likely to encounter a "just where the heck did that come from?" curveball-type question.

DVD LECTURES
Figuring out where to start studying for the MCAT or DAT is a daunting experience, but these DVDs created a perfect foundation so I didn’t waste any time figuring out what was important to focus my studies on.

10 PRACTICE TESTS
Great MCAT study guides, a little harder than the actual test but an excellent representation of material. I would highly recommend these exams to all friends taking the MCAT.
