MCAT Review

I have been watching IFD on YouTube for the last 2 years, and honestly, being non-trad (out of undergrad for 6+ years), I would have never been able to tackle the MCAT if it wasn't for John and Maggie's incredible and to the point breakdowns. Whenever I would look at a passage, I would completely shut down, but watching IFD explanations, I immediately would feel so much better, because the breakdowns actually made sense, and I realized I was overcomplicating all sections of this exam. I’ve recommended IFD’s FLE breakdowns to all my friends because of how much they’ve helped me. I still struggle with the MCAT and consider myself a slower learner, but these resources have made test day feel much less daunting. I’ve spent countless hours and a lot of money on tutors and programs like Blueprint, only to feel like I was getting nowhere. For anyone who needs a fresh start, I would recommend beginning your prep with IFD and building from there. I’ve made a lot of decisions I regret throughout my MCAT journey, but choosing IFD is not one of them. I’ll continue using their material until I take my exam this fall.

incredible resource you won't want to miss.

I love how concepts are broken down into easy-to-understand explanations with examples, making learning both clear and engaging! Plus, it highlights key points to watch out for and how they might appear on the exam, which is incredibly helpful. Definitely a bargain for everything you get!

AAMC Passage Breakdown Course

I purchased the AAMC Passage Breakdowns course during my previous MCAT cycle, and it was hands down one of the most helpful resources I used for understanding the AAMC logic. The breakdowns made it much easier to see how to approach the passages, identify the important details and avoid any common traps in the answer choices. I especially liked how the course focused not just on content, but on how to actually think through the AAMC style questions. I found it very useful and would 100% recommend it to students who want a really clear strategy to approach the FLs and improve their passage comprehension as well as approach!

IFD has been such an important part of…

IFD has been such an important part of my prep! It has added much needed structure to my study schedule, helping me narrow in on what to actually focus on. The courses are great, and if you need a refresher, the videos aren't too long but always leave me feeling more confident in my knowledge. Damon has been extremely helpful during my MCAT journey, and I can already see a difference in my score! Thank you, IFD!

They care.

As a non-traditional applicant who has had to take the MCAT a few times, IFD is the only study resource that has truly clicked with my brain. From their clear, logical videos to their well-structured guides, everything is founded on solid basic sciences. What sets them apart is their incredible support team. They are exceptionally responsive. Often John himself would personally reply to my emails. Most meaningfully, their team worked with me to provide extensions and accommodations as I continued to engage with their products. They genuinely care about their students. I highly recommend their content, especially the AAMC exam reviews. Given the immense time and effort that must go into creating those videos, I am amazed at how affordable they are. I’m so grateful to John and Maggie for tackling what must have been a daunting task. You guys are the best, and I really hope you create a guide for medical school exams/Step exams in the future because I don't know what I'd do without you!

Very Encouraging & Helpful

Damon was excellent! He truly took time to listen and was very encouraging. I look forward to utilizing the course in the near future.

good customer service

A Refreshing Experience

Damon was so kind and patient with me. He gave me a very thorough plan on how to continue my MCAT studying without trying to sell me anything. In fact, he made sure that I was using the materials that I had already paid for, which is something I've never seen any other test prep company do. I can tell the people at IFD are genuine people who just want to see others succeed, even if it doesn't benefit them.

Very helpful and practical advice

IFD is the best!

I cannot recommend this MCAT prep company enough. From the very beginning, I felt genuinely supported, valued, and invested in, not like just another customer or student in a program. The owners took the time to truly get to know me, understand my goals, and consistently adapt my study plan based on my progress, strengths, and areas that needed improvement. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the one-on-one meetings every week or two. Those meetings kept me accountable, motivated, and reassured throughout such a stressful process. Every session felt personalized and intentional, and I always left feeling more confident and organized. The study plan itself was incredibly well thought out and streamlined. Preparing for the MCAT can feel overwhelming, but they broke everything down into manageable steps so I never felt rushed, lost, or buried under unrealistic expectations. The structure gave me clarity while still allowing flexibility when life got busy or my needs changed. What stood out most to me was the kindness and genuine care they showed throughout the entire process. They celebrated my wins, encouraged me during setbacks, and continuously made adjustments to help me succeed in the best way possible. It truly felt like they saw me as a person first, not just a score. If you’re looking for an MCAT prep program that is personalized, supportive, organized, and deeply invested in your success, this is absolutely the place to go.

This content is SO amazing

This content is SO amazing. I love how Maggie and John are so down to earth and simple in their explanations. The explanation of the AAMC practice exams was why I bought the package, but I was so pleased with everything included. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your passion and efforts to make the premed journey a little smoother. MCAT in 4 months and counting!

High Yield MCAT Book & MCAT Math Guide Bundle

If you're wondering whether the High Yield MCAT Book & MCAT Math Guide Bundle is worth it, let me tell you point blank: it is worth it. There is no better product on the market at this price range. After taking a gap year, I began studying for the MCAT. I realized that if I wanted to apply for this cycle (Class of 2030), I had about three weeks to take the MCAT. I found John & Maggie's content on YouTube and eventually purchased the e-book bundle. The bundle was a fantastic tool for helping me cover lots of bases FAST, so that I had at least a general idea of whatever topic I'd be looking at on test day. This bundle is great for giving yourself a solid foothold on the MCAT. This bundle and the IFD YouTube content was a huge factor in my MCAT score and my acceptance to my top choice school yesterday. Thanks, IFD!

Easy to use and study

It was easy to navigate and use along eith my uworld bank it came.in handy

Ultimate Value

When it comes to value there is not a better name in MCAT test prep than IFD. John and Maggie's program is S tier for being accessible, to the point, and empowering students to get to the heart of what moves the needle the most on the MCAT. Their methodology works and they do it as good, and at times better, than the big names out there.

Damon was really helpful

Damon really helped make me realize if IFD was for me or not. He was not trying to be a salesman; he was looking out for the best for me. After explaining what they do and how IFD works, he even suggested that I look into other prep courses to make sure I was choosing the best one for me. He was super nice and made me comfortable, and we had a little time to talk about personal things and got to learn some cool things about his past and his background.

Straight forward and practical

IFD gives straight forward and practical advice for the MCAT. I love their passage breakdowns and strategy videos on YouTube. I recently bought their high yield bundle and I am able to study with confidence knowing that I am not wasting time on unnecessary content. Their guide has great explanations for the most important MCAT content!

Great Guidance!!!

I came into the meeting wanting to learn more about IFD's paid material. I spoke with Damon and explained where I am in my MCAT journey right now and he helped me break down my next study strategy and I have a clearer path as to how I am going to approach my target MCAT score. The MCAT is a scary test, especially if you don't have any guidance or mentors, but I felt reassured after only 15 minutes of talking! Make sure to come prepared with your goals and study strategies to get the most out of the meeting. Thank you!!!
