Our Beta

Next Step launched a closed Beta program of our online MCAT course on July 12 so we

could gain a better understanding of how our course worked in practice, catch bugs

within our system, and determine whether more features needed to be included.

Students invited to join this program were required to be registered for the MCAT in

August or September 2016. Our intention was to create a test group that was as new to

the MCAT as possible. All of the information was self-reported, with the exception of

documentation of MCAT registration. In total, 27 students joined the Beta program, of

whom 19 submitted official score reports.

Gains

We compiled the scoring data for the Beta students. If a student completed more than one attempt at a practice exam, the earlier score was listed as the first attempt is a more accurate depiction of a student’s performance.

Students who completed the diagnostic exam, at least 4 practice exams, and 90%

of course materials:

Saw an average score increase of 10.4 points The highest score improvement among students in this group was a 21-point

increase by Student # 1 and Student #13 Highest Score Increase by Section

Chem/Phys - Student #1 increased by 8 points CARS - Student #5 increased by 5 points Bio/Biochem - Student #1 increased by 8 points Psych/Soc - Student #6 increased by 6 points

Data for all of Beta participants Saw an average score increase of 9.8 points The highest score improvement among students in this group was 21 points by

Student #1 and student #13 Highest Score Increase by Section

Chem/Phys - Student #1 increased by 8 points CARS - Student #5 increased by 5 points Bio/Biochem - Student #1 increased by 8 points Psych/Soc - Student #6 increased by 6 points

The Data Listed below is the score data for each of the Beta participants that provided their official score reports.

Included in the table are the scores for the required diagnostic exam and any of the completed full-length

practice exams as well as the participant’s official MCAT score, the score increase from the first diagnostic to the final official MCAT score, and how much of the course was completed.
