Preparingfor the MCAT exam takes time and dedication. Balancing your preparation with an already busy schedule can be a challenge. The AAMC has resources and practice products to help you no matter where you are in the preparation process.

Discover the complete list of foundational concepts, content categories, skills, and disciplines you will need to know for test day. We also offer the outline as a course in the MCAT Official Prep Hub, with links to free open access resources covering the same content.

The AAMC Fee Assistance Program assists those who, without financial assistance, would be unable to take the MCAT exam or apply to medical schools that use the AMCAS. The benefits include discounted fees, free MCAT Official Prep products, and more.

The goal of The Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) is to develop a diverse pool of well-trained postbaccalaureates who will transition into and complete rigorous biomedical, research-focused doctoral degree programs (e.g., Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.) in biomedical fields relevant to the NIGMS mission. The Research Education grant provides support for personnel costs (e.g., salary support of Principal Investigator(s) and a program coordinator), participant costs (i.e., remuneration for PREP scholars through salary and wages, and participant travel), and other program related expenses (e.g., consultant costs, equipment, supplies). Full details are found in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) PAR-22-220.

PREP provides support to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to biomedical research training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the research enterprise. This program is limited to applications from training programs at research-intensive institutions (i.e., those with an average of NIH Research Project Grant (RPG) funding greater than or equal to $7.5 million total costs over the last 3 fiscal years) that have strong biomedical Ph.D. degree programs in NIGMS mission areas. RPG data are available through NIH RePORTER (see additional guidance here [PDF]). Only one PREP application per institution is allowed.

PREP participants work as research postbaccalaureates at 9 person-months (75% full-time) effort, with the other 3 person-months (25% full-time effort) devoted to further skills development. The academic preparations may include courses, workshops, seminars, supplemental instruction, or lectures that will enhance the technical, operational, and professional skills of the participants. The courses taken should be appropriate to the requirements for admission to, and successful completion of rigorous biomedical research-focused doctoral degree programs. It is the expectation that most PREP participants will transition to a rigorous biomedical, research-focused doctoral degree program following a one-year postbaccalaureate experience. PREP programs are not intended to prepare participants for medical degrees.

Please follow the Information for Students or Recent Graduates link for more information. NIGMS staff are not involved in PREP program admissions - your questions are likely best answered by Program Directors at PREP Institutions across the country. Additionally, a map and websites of active PREP program can be found here.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO (including Related Notices in the Overview Section), Answers to Frequently Asked Questions, and consult NIGMS staff to discuss eligibility and application requirements prior to submission. When submitting an application, it's important to follow all instructions and avoid issues that lead to noncompliance and withdrawal prior to review (see examples of common mistakes in NIGMS Institutional Training applications, also relevant to PREP). The total direct costs for each award are limited to $400,000 annually.

During the registration process and for up to 6 months after your test, you can request a copy of your questions and answers (referred to as Test Information Release or TIR) from three test dates a school year. If you've already tested during one of the dates, simply login to your MyACT account to purchase your TIR, or you can order it during the registration process.

This guide was designed to make understanding all things ACT as simple as possible. With information about ACT test dates, fee waivers, and test prep, you'll find everything you need to succeed on test day.

Illumina DNA Prep, previously known as Nextera DNA Flex, offers a fast, robust, and flexible workflow for preparing normalized, sequencing-ready libraries from a wide range of DNA input types and amounts facilitating an array of applications, from human whole-genome sequencing to sequencing amplicons, plasmids, and microbial species.1

Illumina DNA Prep workflow delivers consistent insert sizes, uniform coverage, and optimized performance, regardless of DNA input amount or genome size. The bead-based technology minimizes bias and opportunities for error, resulting in highly reproducible sequencing data.

This product is also available as an Illumina Advantage (TG) product. Illumina Advantage large-scale sequencing products feature lot-specific shipments and testing, extended shelf life, and advanced change notifications for greater laboratory efficiency.

(A) Bead-linked transposomes mediate the simultaneous fragmentation of gDNA and the addition of Illumina sequencing primers. (B) Reduced-cycle PCR amplification amplifies sequencing ready DNA fragments and adds indexes and adapters. (C) Sequencing-ready fragments are washed and pooled.

Comparison of the total workflow time from DNA extraction to library normalization and pooling. Illumina DNA Prep produces a workflow with the least number of steps and the fastest total workflow time.

(A) Illumina DNA Prep delivers uniform coverage across the genome comparable to the TruSeq DNA Nano kit. (B) Coverage is shown for microorganisms with extremely high- or low-GC content. Due to improved on-bead tagmentation library prep chemistry, Illumina DNA Prep shows more even coverage than Nextera XT.

Coverage of GC-rich regions can be impacted by the model, settings, and performance of the thermal cycler used. Illumina has validated the Bio-Rad DNA Engine Tetrad 2, the Bio-Rad S1000, the Bio-Rad C1000, and the MJ Research PTC-225 DNA Engine Tetrad thermal cyclers for use with Illumina DNA Prep. Other thermal cyclers may differ in their performance, which may impact genomic coverage.

At Illumina, our goal is to apply innovative technologies to the analysis of genetic variation and function, making studies possible that were not even imaginable just a few years ago. It is mission critical for us to deliver innovative, flexible, and scalable solutions to meet the needs of our customers. As a global company that places high value on collaborative interactions, rapid delivery of solutions, and providing the highest level of quality, we strive to meet this challenge. Illumina innovative sequencing and array technologies are fueling groundbreaking advancements in life science research, translational and consumer genomics, and molecular diagnostics.

The LSAT was created to promote fairness in law school admission by opening access to all qualified candidates, regardless of their background. At LSAC, we believe that just as legal education should be accessible to all who wish to pursue it, so should affordable, high quality test preparation resources. Our LSAT PrepSM materials enable you to practice with official LSAT content, which means that you will be using authentic test questions and gaining familiarity with the actual test interface. Whether you are just getting started or looking to master specific skills, choose the test preparation approaches that feel most comfortable so you can set yourself up for success.

LSAC provides a comprehensive list of test prep companies that have licensed Official LSAT content. We do not review or audit the performance of individual test prep companies. Many of our licensees offer free or discounted courses to LSAC fee waiver recipients.

LSAC offers a variety of Official LSAT preparation books featuring real test questions, explanations, and advice straight from our team of LSAT test item writers. Available from your favorite bookseller, check out the list of books and ebooks designed to help you understand the test structure and prepare for the different question types.

The vast majority of test takers will benefit from some kind of structured test preparation. But this does not need to involve paying for a commercial prep course. Indeed, many test takers do very well without taking a commercial LSAT prep course. Many test takers achieve success simply through self-study, designing their own study schedule based around practicing using published PrepTests.
