MCAT King has expanded its online MCAT preparation classes to serve students throughout the United States, moving beyond its New York origins to offer nationwide access through live virtual classrooms and on-demand workshops. The expansion addresses the challenge many pre-med students face when studying alone for the demanding Medical College Admission Test, which tests reasoning, stamina, and recall under pressure. The company's approach centers on step-by-step guidance from instructors who have themselves achieved top percentile scores on the exam.
The online format replicates the intensive live classes that established MCAT King's reputation in New York, allowing students outside the city to join live sessions, ask questions in real time, and follow structured pacing. The expanded program includes full-length live courses with fixed schedules, section-specific workshops for sciences, CARS, and psychology/sociology, small-group sessions that maintain interaction, and replays for review or missed sessions. This structure provides the accountability and direct instruction that many students find missing from self-study approaches.
What distinguishes MCAT King's methodology is its unconventional teaching style, which the company openly promotes through its website at https://www.mcatking.com. Instead of relying solely on standard lectures, instructors employ a memorization method called Shock and Awe that combines vivid stories, humor, and high-yield frameworks to make complex concepts more memorable during exams. A central component involves PG-13 mnemonics described as intentionally bold and provocative, designed so single phrases can unlock entire pathways of biochemical, physiological, or behavioral information under time pressure.
The online curriculum follows a structured progression blending content, strategy, and repetition. Key elements include diagnostic assessments to establish baselines, regular practice exams with review, emphasis on error analysis and pattern recognition, targeted homework reinforcing live instruction, and ongoing messaging support between sessions. The company reports significant average score increases among alumni and has served thousands of students through various formats.
Alongside group classes, MCAT King continues offering private MCAT tutoring for additional support, allowing students to customize their preparation by combining live classes for structure with one-on-one sessions for targeted work on weak areas. Some students begin with tutoring before joining online classes for fixed structure, while others add tutoring to their course enrollment as exam dates approach.
Founder and lead tutor Noble Zaghi explained the expansion decision was grounded in consistent requests from students outside New York who wanted the same live teaching experience, clear expectations, and memorable strategies available locally. The team consists of tutors who have scored above 515 on the MCAT and bring that high-performance experience directly into virtual classrooms. This nationwide availability represents a significant shift in access to specialized test preparation that previously required physical presence in specific locations.
