Basically taught me an entire subject I hadn’t taken the pre-req in

I’ve really enjoyed working with 1SM and Neelam was absolutely amazing!!! She helped structure my study plan and basically taught me an entire subject I hadn’t taken the prereq in!

Her approach really ensured I studied effectively while still enjoying my life. The owner has excellent communication and a commitment to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Neelam and all of the 1SM staff.

1 Source has been the been a game changer

As someone who tried traditional MCAT prep companies, 1Source has been a game changer. Joe has given 100% clear transparency on how you will be billed and truly works with his clients to accommodate all their needs.

You have access to a variety of tutors who coach you on AAMC logic and provide test-taking strategies to improve. Neelam has been amazing with CARS, and I saw improvement after our first 2 sessions.

The company also gives access to a variety of guides that helped me structure my studying without wasting time. I can honestly vouch for the 1Source program and highly recommend it to anyone looking for MCAT prep!!!

Jump Up More Than 10 Points Between Tests!

Sahithi Palle

Achieved 99th Percentile MCAT Score with 1Source’s Customized Approach

I recently aced the MCAT with a 99th percentile score, thanks to 1Source! Their personalized approach really suited my goal of a 520+ score.

The personal advice and targeted strategies I received from my tutor were instrumental in my success. I loved that they have no preset curriculum plan, and instead allow you to work at the pace and with the resources that you find the most comfortable.

Their pricing is fair and provides the best value for money that I could find, especially if you’re already planning on buying a UWorld subscription. If you’re serious about MCAT success, they’re the way to go!

Took Me from a 496 to a 512 on the Real Exam!

I found 1SM with about a month and two weeks to go until my exam date. The one-on-one tutoring program took me from a 496 to a 512 on the real exam!

If you are pressed on time and you’re not yet where you want to be, 1SM is the way to go. Come with discipline and focus and they will take you the rest of the way. I have no doubt that with a little more time I would have scored even higher. Many thanks to Joe and my tutor Riley. This program gave me exactly what I was looking for.

Bete G

My CARS Score Went Up 5 Points in Less Than Two Weeks

Beautiful concept of a company. Very direct tutoring from individuals who have recently taken the MCAT and can give you a better idea of what to expect than tutors of the larger companies.

Sam (Cheng) tutored me for 1.5 weeks because I was having issues with CARS but did not know where I was going wrong. In that span of 1.5 weeks, my CARS score went up 5 points. In less than two weeks. Unbelievable. Thank you, Sam 🙂

Peyton Colier

I’m So Thrilled I Took the MCAT Again This June and Just Got My Scores Back, a 515!!!!

I took the MCAT for the first time in January and felt defeated after I got a 502. I kept studying and practicing, but felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere. I signed up for the bootcamp because it seemed smaller and more personalized for a much lower cost than the name brand courses.

I took this during my last semester and did some more focused studying for a month after graduation. I kept using resources from 1SM during this period. I’m so thrilled I took the MCAT again this June and just got my scores back, a 515!!!!

This program really ties complicated concepts together and drills practice practice practice.

Tyler Butler

Probably the Best MCAT Prep Company That You Could Come To

Probably the best MCAT prep company that you could come to. All the tutors are top scorers unlike many other tutoring companies. I had Landon as a tutor and he did amazing. Always responsive to questions, and made sure to explain everything as in depth as possible.

Tristen McGee-James

Definitely Recommend 1SM to Anyone Planning to Take the MCAT!

As we all know, the MCAT is a beast, but I have had such a great experience with 1SM, specifically with my tutor Landon. He has been super responsive and incredibly optimistic!

Not only has he provided in-depth explanations of complex concepts and test-taking strategies, but he has also provided great accountability, even going as far as helping me craft a reasonable weekly study schedule. On top of delivering exceptional tutoring, 1SM has also been incredibly supportive and understanding.

Over the past few months, I have experienced many mental health issues, and both Joe and Landon reached out to provide me with some support. They genuinely care, and I have not heard of any other tutoring company going out of their way as they have. I still have some time before my exam, but I know I can reach my goal score with their help!

S. McLean

They Helped Me So Much!!! Highly Recommend 1-on-1 Help!

They helped me so so so much!!!!! Definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for 1-1 help. Worth your time, money, and effort for sure!

From Struggle to Success: A Former Student Shares Their 1SM Journey

I spent so much money on other renowned MCAT Prep, and I was just kicking myself because I wish I knew about One Source before. Other companies felt corporate, like they didn’t really care. But at One Source, you get a personalized plan, tutoring tailored to your needs, and real support. You’re not going to find that level of access anywhere else.

1SM Former Student

Joe’s way of doing it, his way of analyzing the passage, saves me time and brain energy, so my stamina is improving. He draws everything out and it literally engraved in my brain. The recorded sessions also helped me improve.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have a set study schedule?

Yes! Each day is structured with a detailed syllabus to guide your preparation and maximize productivity. Our structured schedule ensures you stay on track, with the flexibility to review recorded sessions and engage in live discussions.

What is the class size and format?

Our classes are intentionally kept small to foster engagement and ensure each student’s questions are addressed. We use a Socratic-style, question-oriented discussion format to deepen understanding and maximize interaction.

Are classes recorded?

Yes, all group and 1-on-1 sessions are recorded and uploaded to your user portal, allowing you to review and reinforce your learning whenever you need.

How intensive is the bootcamp?

This is a rigorous, comprehensive program tailored to committed students seeking a 520+ score. If you follow our structured schedule and guidance, you will be prepared for every aspect of the MCAT.

How do I secure my spot?

You can secure your spot by booking a free consultation. Spaces are limited, so we recommend acting quickly to ensure availability.

Can you guarantee I'll get the score I want?

No, we can’t. And we’re leery of companies that say they can. Each student is unique, and there are many factors outside our control that determine a student’s performance on the MCAT. For that reason, it’s our opinion that specific score guarantees — with all the requisite asterisks — are disingenuous. We prefer to channel our resources into making 1SM services of the highest possible quality. We only guarantee that which is completely within our control. Our goal is to empower you with all the tools you need to carry yourself over the finish line.

What if I already have a UWorld subscription?

We’re NOT going to make you pay for UWorld twice. When you check out, there’s an option to select whether you already have UWorld access. If you accidentally opt-in, just let us know and we’ll refund you the appropriate amount.

What is the average 1SM student MCAT score?

As of January 1, 2023, our average student score is 516.1. We will update this data again if we see a substantial change or on January 1, 2024 — whichever comes first.

This does NOT mean every student we’ve worked with has scored a 516+. Averages are averages, and while most of our students see significant improvement, there will always be circumstances in which an individual doesn’t get the score they’re capable of.

What happens if I don't get the score I hoped for?

The vast majority of 1SM students see expected, significant score improvements, but we’ve certainly had outliers on both ends of the spectrum — the excessively awesome and confusingly underwhelming.

For example, one retaker jumped from 482 to 519 (wild, we know). On the flip side, a small contingency of students underperformed on the official exam compared to their final AAMC full-length exams. Testing anxiety, poorly simulated testing conditions, and plain bad luck can negatively impact test takers. We’re constantly implementing additional measures to minimize their effects on our students, but we all have to tip our caps to the chaos of entropy at some point.
