✅ The 3 essential elements every MCAT prep program needs: content review, QBank practice, and full-length exams
✅ How to structure your MCAT study schedule from day one to test day
✅ Why the CARS section is the hardest reading comp section out there — and how to improve

Sketchy is the #1 visual learning platform, created by the team behind SketchyMicro and SketchyPharm. We take what you need to know for your courses and exams and turn it into unforgettable, story-driven lessons using the proven ‘method of loci’ memorization technique. The Sketchy Method accelerates learning, boosts retention, and improves test scores—(trust us, we’re doctors).

But mastering medicine isn’t just about memorization—it’s about applying knowledge. That’s why we built Sketchy Cases, our interactive clinical reasoning tool. Cases put you in real-world scenarios where you’ll build and defend differentials, take patient histories, interpret labs, and get feedback just like you would in rotations. Whether you’re preparing for clinicals, OSCEs, or board exams, Sketchy Cases gives you the practice you need to sharpen your diagnostic skills and grow confident in decision-making.
