The AAMC PREview® professional readiness exam is still testing and runs through September. Last year, our first-hand survey revealed a significant knowledge gap: - 78% of students hadn’t even heard of the exam - Of the 22% who had, only 7% said they felt they knew a lot about it Now in its second year, we hope to continue to raise students’ awareness. Everything that needs to be known about the PREview exam can be found in our blog: https://lnkd.in/eQAiR9FY We even offer an on-demand prep course to help students master the exam! See what our students have to say: "By studying with Kaplan's videos and practice tests for the AAMC PREVview® exam, I am extremely proud to share I received a perfect score of 9 on the real test! I am grateful for Kaplan's prep program and strongly recommend it to any premedical applicant."—Somil B.
