Redwood MCATReviews of redwoodmcat.com

The first time I wrote CARS on the MCAT, my strategy was to practice as much as possible, which proved to be relatively ineffective. This time around I chose to take a risk and invest in Gabe's course. It was especially attractive compared to the competitors due to the fair price and overwhelmingly fabourable reviews. The course was an adjustment at first, Gabe's approaches were different than what I had developed naturally. After a short adjustment period, I noticed a very distinct difference in my understanding of the passages, and my approach to the questions. I was able to fully adapt Gabe's strategy, and felt a lot more confident on test day this time. This time around I was able to improve to a 127! Before I started the course, I couldn't score above 125 on any practice. All of the resources you need to succeed are given in the course. Gabe is extremely helpful throughout the course, and is constantly in touch with all of us to monitor our progress. It's clear he cares about our success. I only wish I knew about this course the first time!

Let me just start by saying that LITERALLY Gabe was the the main reason I did so good in Cars on my MCAT. I was scoring 124/126/122/124 on my F1/2/3/4 from AAMC then I was able to score a 127 on the real exam. Just to give you some context that my first language is not english and I did better then many of my friends who's first language is english. Also many of my friends who where doing better than me in the Fl's in CARS ended up dropping points in CARS and I was the only one who was able to go up and that is because of Gabes strategy that he taught me. The MCAT is a strategy exam and it contributes to 80% of your performance and Gabe didn't just teach me a strategy and expect me to replicate it every time like many other third party MCAT tutors, Gabe takes the time to learn who you are as a person and develop a strategy for YOU and that was what help me break that 125 in the exam. He works with you on what you like and don't like and takes your suggestions to develop your strategy which I loved because every student is different and one strategy does not fit all. Beyond cars my science scores (CP and BB) where always 130+ so we didn't really work on any of those sections but he would give me advice when I made mistakes which where usually reading mistakes. Lastly my PS was always above a 125 but never above 130 but Gabe was able to give me advice on how to improve what to do where to go to find information and helped me go over my reading mistakes. You have made it this far and im sure you are wondering what my MCAT score was and it really doesn't matter, it was a 517++ and the only reason I give you that information is so you understand that I did REALLY well on the exam and Gabe was a large part of that success, even closer to my exam dates may of our tutoring session would revolve around talking about what Im going to be doing rather that practicing cars. PS: stay off MCAT reddit that place is filled with trolls and people who claim they got 520+ who really didn't. If you want real advice you take Gabe as a tutor period.

Gabe is the man. I wish I didn’t waste time and money on other CARS help. He immediately improved my timing. Not only did he help me improve on CARS and become more consistent, he also made the rest of the test less stressful by not feeling rushed and panicked for 80 minutes. Definitely recommend!

Gabe is a phenomenal CARS tutor. The CARS section was the one I dreaded the most on the MCAT by far. When I learned about Redwood, I got into contact with Gabe, received a quick response, and had a lesson set up within a week. Before we met, I had already been through a plethora of practice materials, but going through passages with Gabe made me realize he has the section down to a science. It took me months to learn the best tips and strategies by reading books, but Gabe taught them to me in a matter of weeks. No matter where you are in your studies, even if you're weeks out from your exam, reaching out to Redwood will help your score. Once you work with Gabe and learn how to think about the questions and what they're really asking, CARS is easy. To my surprise, I even improved in B/B and Psych/Soc as my comprehension skills increased. In the end, I could confidently tackle AAMC passages with ease. Do yourself a favor, lighten the MCAT study load, and reach out. You won't regret it!

Gabe helped me get from a 123 on my first attempt to a 127. I attribute my score to his videos, mainly how in-depth his analysis is on AAMC questions and answer choices. I realized from my first attempt that antagonizing CARS and viewing it as an unnecessary section was not a good idea. I am one of the students who consistently suffered with poor critical reading scores on the SAT/ACT and on my first MCAT attempt. I thought it was a crapshoot and I was doomed to have a 123. Gabe's initial videos explained that CARS is an important section that is definitely doable. He focuses specifically on AAMC logic, the only logic that matters for this exam. The course is completely self-paced and easy to access while concurrently studying for the other sections. His explanations and videos are crystal clear and if there was any question I had, I could count on his prompt email responses to my questions. Thank you so much for your help, Gabe!

Gabe helped me tremendously with CARS, and the MCAT overall. He is patient and easy to talk to. Studying for the exam can be a stressful ordeal; but Gabe helped the process become less daunting. He will address your weaknesses, and give you methods to help improve your CARS score. Before Gabe's coaching, I struggled tremendously with timing, which effected my overall score. After a few weeks of Gabe's coaching, I was able to consistently finish on time, and even finished with spare time on the real deal. He helped me stray away from bad habits I had with CARS, and I was able to apply his teachings on test day. Aside from strategy and practice, Gabe gave me more confidence when it came to taking the exam. I highly recommend his services if you are struggling with CARS. I couldn't have reached my goal without his help.

Gabe was by far the best tutor I have ever had! I never really thought it was possible to improve on the MCAT CARS section, but after working with Gabe, it gave me a lot of confidence to know that CARS was a skill, just like any other skill, that can be improved upon strategic practice. Before I took this course, I tried the Kaplan method, I used Exam Crackers 101 passages book, the Jack Westin Method and nothing worked. My problem was that I was overcomplicating it and I wasn’t consistent with what I should do. I was stuck, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t score past a 123 on any CARS section. I was slowly losing hope until I came across this course. I worked with Gabe for many weeks on reading strategy, question strategy, and timing strategy. Through a lot of effort and determination, my score in CARS started to improve. I was moving on to 124’s, then 125’s and finally 126’s. Not only that, but Gabe’s method allowed me to improve on all the other MCAT sections as well, even though I only got tutoring in CARS. I always felt that the Chem/Phys section was difficult to improve on, but after learning the CARS strategy, my C/P section skyrocketed out of nowhere! I went from a 124 in C/P to 128 just by improving my approach on how to answer questions. It was great to see that I was finally improving on the dreaded CARS section. Reading comprehension has always been a challenge for me, and you can only imagine how difficult CARS would be with the logic-based reasoning questions and the added time pressure. I am very thankful for all Gabe has taught me through my MCAT journey and I can’t recommend him enough! Gabe is not only a great teacher but a wonderful friend as well! He was willing to talk to you about anything, and when you were feeling down, stressed, or anxious, he would listen to the things going on in your life, and tell you that you aren’t alone in this journey. I recommend to anyone who is struggling with CARS to take private tutoring with Gabe. I have been scoring 123’s on CARS for a year and I was shocked by how much I have been able to improve. It changed my whole mindset and it gave me hope that I can actually get into med school. If you have any doubts about this course, I say give it a try and you will be surprised.

Gabe helped me so much with CARS. Before coming to him I was super discouraged with the MCAT in general and really didn't know what to do or how to start studying for a retake. I felt that I had blown through all of the AAMC resources but he is really reassuring and can really help people get the hang down with CARS!
