End of Chapter exams are a great way to help review for the MCAT using your Blueprint textbooks. The End of Chapter exams can be found easily under your Resources tab. These exams are designed to simulate real test conditions by including interdisciplinary questions, similar to the MCAT, encouraging a more comprehensive assessment of your understanding.
The best way to use the End of Chapter exams is to practice content you’ve recently reviewed. For example, later in your prep you’ll begin completing (and reviewing!) full-length exams regularly. In your review, you’ll make note in your LLJ (Lessons Learned Journal) of what topics you are missing because you need to review content. Once you’ve reviewed a content area, you can then use the End of Chapter exams to test that specific content and ensure your understanding before moving on to your next topic or exam. It is recommended to align your EOC exams with your Study Planner's suggestions and take them only after thoroughly understanding the chapter's material, ensuring holistic preparation before attempting further topics.
The End of Chapter exams can be added to your Study Plan via the Assignment Bank, or you can find them on the Resources page.
To add an End of Chapter exam to any Study Plan day:
Hover over the desired day and click the + button that appears; this will open the Assignment Bank:
2. Find the EOC Exam you want to add and click the + to add to the Study Plan day:
3. Clicking on the assignment from the Study Plan will launch the assignment detail pop-up:
4. Clicking Go to Assignment will bring you to the listing page of exams for that Subject, but it will not navigate to the specific chapter number - it will simply display the whole page. E.g. If you launch Psych/Soc Chapter 6 exam - you will be brought to the Psych/Soc exam page, but you will need to scroll down to get to Chapter 6.
Each exam consists of 15 test-like questions. When you have completed an attempt, the assignment will flip to "Complete" status on your Study Plan. Additionally, you can retake each exam up to five times via tabs labeled 2-5 in the dashboard, providing an opportunity to track and improve your performance.
Good to know:
End of chapter questions count toward your recommended questions-answered goal on the Progress Tracker, located on the Dashboard. They have their own category so you can keep track of how many you’ve done: Compared to AI Qbank questions, which are suitable for quick spot-check practice, EOC exams are better suited for deep dives into specific content areas due to their comprehensive and integrative nature.
All of these exams can also be accessed directly from the Resources tab if you don't wish to place them onto a Study Plan day: However, note that not all course bundles include EOC exams. For example, you may need to upgrade to a self-paced course option to gain access, which also includes additional materials in the Study Planner.
