Blueprint MCAT Q-Bank

4.8

Blueprint's MCAT Q-Bank received the highest score during this three-way comparison. It is a strong contender across all of the features we evaluated.

We evaluated Blueprint's MCAT Qbank + 10 Exams ($399) for this comparison.

Princeton Review MCAT Q-Bank

4.3

Coming in second place was Princeton Review's MCAT Q-Bank. Like Blueprint, Princeton is a solid choice and scored well in most of the categories we examined. The main area where Princeton's Q-Bank is lacking is with advanced features offered by competitors such as Blueprint. They don't have as robust of analytics and the program doesn't include any AI tutor for questions.

We evaluated Princeton Review's MCAT Practice Pack Standard ($399) for this comparison.

Kaplan MCAT Q-Bank

2.7

Kaplan scored last in our comparison but it also came in at the lowest price which still made it a decent value. Despite this, there are better options available if you're willing to spend a bit more. With Kaplan, you only get practice questions and you miss out on all of the additional features offered by the other brands.

We evaluated Kaplan's MCAT Q-Bank - 6 months ($249) for this comparison.

💡
These scores are specific for standalone Q-Banks only. It is not an apples-to-apples comparison with full-featured program scores as the evaluation criteria are substantially different.
