What the CARS course covers

CARS shows up in Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS) on the MCAT. The course is split into units, each unit into skills, and each skill into five levels, from quick recall up to multi-step, passage-style reasoning.

  • Main Idea and Structure
  • Author's Tone and Perspective
  • Reasoning Within the Passage
  • Applying Ideas Beyond the Passage

What you'll practice

  • Finding the main idea and how a passage is built
  • Reading the author's tone and point of view
  • Reasoning within the passage: what follows, what weakens, what strengthens
  • Applying the passage's ideas to new situations

How a lesson works

  • Each lesson is a handful of questions, quick enough to fit between classes
  • Every answer comes with an explanation, plus why each wrong answer is wrong
  • Questions you miss come back later in mistake review, so they actually stick
  • Lessons are built on full reading passages, just like the real CARS section
  • Finish a unit and face a boss: a passage set that pulls the whole unit together

Built to make you come back

XP, levels, streaks and a weekly league against other premeds make it easier to show up on the days you don't feel like studying. The questions are the serious part: every one is original and mapped to the content the MCAT actually tests.
