MCAT King touts its bold Shock and Awe method, claiming many students see 10–15 point MCAT gains.
NEW YORK, Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MCAT King, the NY-based program behind the tagline "Unorthodox, Unfiltered, Unforgettable MCAT Prep," is putting its signature Shock and Awe Memorization Technique at the center of a national push to help students unlock double digit score gains.
The institution reports that most students who complete its programs see improvements of 10 points or more on the MCAT, with many rising by 15 points or higher when they follow a structured plan built around this method.
What is the Shock And Awe Method?
MCAT King describes the "Shock and Awe method" as a system designed to "spank your brain into retention," which combines provocative PG-13 mnemonics, sharp humor, and high-yield content in order to make dense concepts easier to comprehend.
In practice, an enzyme pathway might become a chaotic group chat where each friend stands in for a specific enzyme, and each message marks an activation or inhibition step. A set of neuroanatomy structures might be turned into a short scene on a New York subway platform, where every character and train movement maps cleanly to a structure and its function.
The tone is intentionally bold, sometimes slightly unhinged, but the content underneath is strictly MCAT relevant. That balance is what lets MCAT King claim a style that's "Memorable, Provocative, Unstoppable" without drifting into gimmicks and is a major reason students often point to these as the best MCAT classes they have taken.
What Sets MCAT King Apart?
- 97th-percentile instructors: MCAT King houses instructors who scored in the 97th percentile or higher and are trained in the same Shock and Awe teaching method.
- A founder who took the MCAT repeatedly to map its patterns: In his own words, Prof. Noble Zaghi did not just study the test; he sat for it again and again, long after a strong score, to understand how it is built, how it changes, and how it breaks students. That perspective shapes the way content, timing, and strategy are woven together in both the live and on-demand MCAT prep classes.
- Legendary memorization techniques: Their memorization system bluntly combines PG-13 mnemonics, humor, and high-yield explanations so key ideas become hard to forget. And the best part is that this teaching method ladders through all subjects, from physics and biochem to CARS, CASPER test prep, and beyond.
- A lesson book that anchors the entire course: The lesson book provided by MCAT King is a 250+ page spiral-bound text, aligned line-by-line with the live and on-demand syllabus, and available only to enrolled students.
- One-on-one tutoring: MCAT King provides MCAT private tutoring for weak-point identification and efficient problem solving, aiming big time for typical gains of +10 to +15 points.
- Multiple workshops across the year: Workshops in science passages, biochemistry, systems biology, CARS, and psych/soc allow students to attack specific sections without re-enrolling in a full program, keeping the feeling of a best MCAT prep course while moving surgically where it counts.
- The only live, in-person MCAT prep course in NYC: MCAT King is the only tightly run, in-person MCAT classroom in New York City, while also streaming those same classes live and on replay for students who cannot commute.

A Message From MCAT King
"Students need ideas that refuse to leave their heads," said Prof. Noble Zaghi, founder and lead instructor at MCAT King. "Our signature Shock and Awe memorization method was built for that one purpose. Take the most important MCAT concepts, make them slightly outrageous, lock them to a visual, and then run them through real passages until they feel automatic. When that process meets a student who is willing to work, 15 point jumps stop being rare and start becoming expected."
