Are you taking MCAT-2015 this cycle? That is to say, anytime between now and the September 23rd exam? As you know, accurate MCAT-2015 Full-Length Practice Tests are very difficult to come by.

Message from Altius Test Prep (www.altiustestprep.com<http://www.altiustestprep.com/>): [https://altiustestprep.com/static/img/logo.png] Altius Perfect-Match MCAT-2015 Practice Tests We are nearing the end of a multi-year, nationwide curriculum project designed to create full-length MCAT-2015 practice exams that are as close to a “perfect-match” to the AAMC materials as is humanly possible. We are confident we’ve come very close to that goal and we will continue improving and perfecting these exams over the coming weeks and months. The tests are not yet available to the general public, but we are recruiting beta testers who will be taking the MCAT in August or September to help us find any lagging errata, software glitches, or other issues. Here are the details on becoming a member of our Beta Testing Team. Please call Curriculum Development Project Director, Joshua Kelly @ 435.671.5783, extension 700<tel:435.671.5783%2C%20extension%20700> if you are interested. * 33% Discount Exclusively for Beta Testers: Save 1/3 off the regular price of the Altius Perfect-Match Practice Tests.

Test drive our free half-length MCAT-2015 exam to get a feeling for the quality and design of the tests you will be taking as a beta tester. Go to www.altiustestprep.com<http://www.altiustestprep.com/> and click on the “Take a Free Test” button. The current state of the exams is already excellent. Errata are a part of any work this size. Our team of 50+ nationwide PhDs content experts has produced over 5,000 pages of passages, questions and solutions—so there is bound to be a typo here and there and an occasional error. However, every exam has already been reviewed by a PhD expert in the appropriate field 3-4 different times, reviewed by our Curriculum Committee, attempted by thousands of students in our MCAT courses, and either has or is currently going through double-blind peer review (we are currently working on integrating some of the suggestions from the peer review round, which will continue into the beta testing phase). Thank you in advance for your help, and good luck on MCAT-2015! Regards, Altius Test Prep www.altiustestprep.com<http://www.altiustestprep.com/> 435.671.5783<tel:435.671.5783> More information on Altius and this project for those who are interested: The MCAT-2015 practice tests offered by big-box prep companies are proving to be extremely inaccurate. Achieving excellence at any endeavor requires practice. However, practicing with the wrong materials does more harm than good. Currently, there is only one AAMC MCAT-2015 practice exam available, leaving students desperate for accurate MCAT-2015 practice. Test prep companies have been quick to produce practice tests, but our industry-leading analytics clearly demonstrate that these materials do not accurately prepare you for what you will actually see on test day. In fact, they aren’t even close. Tomorrow’s Doctors Deserve BetterTM We think tomorrow’s doctors deserve accurate practice materials at an affordable price. To accomplish this goal, Altius assembled the most qualified curriculum development team ever created—featuring current and former admissions officers, 99.9th percentile MCAT scorers, and a cadre of over 50 of the brightest PhD content experts from across the country. Our team carefully analyzed how the AAMC develops actual MCAT-2015 test questions and we matched the AAMC item development process exactly. Because our process is perfectly-matched to the real MCAT, so are our practice materials. AAMC Test Development Altius Test Development Status Quo Test Development Detailed Item Writer’s Guide Detailed Item Writer’s Guide No Item Writer’s Guide PhD-only Content Experts PhD-only Content Experts Committee Approach: Item developers include their management team, their “best tutors,” MDs, and some PhDs Item developers are required to match existing AAMC question blueprints Advanced statistical analysis was used to identify the AAMC question blueprints; Altius item developers were required to match these question blueprints No question blueprints Extensive Peer Review Process Extensive Double-Blind Peer Review Process No Double-Blind Peer Review Process All tests contain beta questions All tests contain beta questions No beta questions Fully standardized using industry best practices for nationwide graduate level examinations Fully standardized using industry best practices for nationwide graduate level examinations Limited internal “testing and adjustment,” but no full-scale standardization process Equated score scales ensure each exam form is of similar difficulty Equated score scales ensure each practice exam is of similar difficulty No equated score scales Item difficulty is determined using standardization on actual students Item difficulty is determined using standardization on actual students Item difficulty is the opinion of the person who authored the question Practice tests so realistic and accurate, it’s like taking the MCAT…before you take the MCAT. The result of our unprecedented effort to recreate the MCAT development process is a set of materials so realistic that our practice tests are statistically indistinguishable from the AAMC on over 100 different metrics. Here are a few of the ways our practice tests hit the mark where others don’t.. * Item Difficulty Match: Altius exams feature exactly the same distribution of easy, medium and difficult questions as AAMC materials. * Word Count Match: Altius passages have exactly the same average, minimum, and maximum word counts as AAMC passages. * Question Blueprint Match: Altius exams use the exact same question blueprints as the AAMC and at the same frequencies. * Figure Match: Altius exams use the exact same number and type of figures as AAMC materials. * Formatting Match: Altius passages use the exact same font, figure labels, and detailed formatting as the AAMC passages. * Topics Match: Altius passages test topics in accordance with the exact same survey used by the AAMC to determine its distribution of topics. * Standardization Match: Altius exams are standardized using the exact same statistically methodology used by the AAMC. * MCAT-2015 Match: Other prep companies are repurposing old MCAT passages and questions into MCAT-2015 materials. 100% of the questions and passages in the Altius Perfect-Match MCAT-2015 Practice Exams were made de novo, specifically for MCAT-2015. The Best MCAT-2015 Testing Software * Exactly replicates the AAMC MCAT-2015 exam software * Functionality, format, font size, word count—everything is statistically identical. No other MCAT resource is this realistic * Dual Enterprise-Level Data Servers: High-capacity redundant computer servers ensure speed and reliability The Most Detailed Exam Analysis * Analyze your practice test results using over 1,500 metrics * Categorize your performance by question type, topic, subtopic, Scientific Inquiry & Reasoning Skill, and more * View performance measures graphically to visualize trends and long-term progress * Track your global performance statistically and graphically across all of the full-length exams you’ve taken No Comparison The number of MCAT-2015 practice test resources available for purchase is extremely limited. The few test prep companies who do offer exams usually restrict access to a mere six months, sometimes as little as 45 days! Others restrict the number of times you can attempt the test. All Altius practice exams are good for one full year from the date of purchase and may be attempted an unlimited number of times.

If you wanted to be a professional basketball player, you’d consider it a necessity to practice with a correctly-sized ball and a regulation 10-foot hoop. If your dream was to become an Olympic Gold Medalist in the breaststroke, you’d want to practice in an Olympic-sized swimming pool, not your neighbor’s kiddie pool.
