CARS is the shortest section with just 53 questions that you must answer in 90 minutes. The other three sections are all 95 minutes and contain 59 questions each. Know how to get to the testing facility nearest you and be sure to arrive at least a half hour early.
When you arrive, you must check in with the exam proctor and present a government-issued photo ID. Apart from food, drinks and medicine, none of these items can be taken out of the locker during breaks. If you need scratch paper during the test, the exam proctor will provide it to you.
There is no magic number of studying hours that will lead to a high MCAT score. The right study plan for you depends on what you already know, your application deadlines and your schedule.
Take a timed practice test under conditions as close to the real exam as possible. Use your results to determine what you need to review. You may want to set aside some extra time for the more difficult sections just to be safe. Once you know your application deadline, you can choose a test date. And when you know when your first test date is, you can begin working backwards to figure out how much material you need to cover each week in order to be ready in time.
Someone who has to juggle work, school and other commitments is going to have to start studying earlier than someone with a more flexible schedule. You should set aside at least a few hours of dedicated studying time each week to keep yourself on track. Your MCAT scores are recorded in three different ways: your raw scores, scaled scores and percentile rank. Only your scaled scores and percentile rank appear on your score reports. Your raw score is the number of questions you answered correctly.
The MCAT has multiple-choice questions, and you get points for each one that you answer right. Your raw scores are then converted into scaled scores through a process known as equating. Each section receives its own scaled score ranging from to , and these four scores are added together to reach the total score, which can be anywhere from to Scaled scores are used instead of raw scores because they enable the test makers to account for variances in difficulty between different versions of the exam.
So a more difficult section is graded more loosely than an easy section. The result is that the scaled scores demonstrate a similar level of knowledge across all versions of the MCAT.
Your percentile rank ranges from 1 to 99 and shows how you measure up to other students who have taken the MCAT in recent years. You get an overall percentile rank as well as a ranking for each of the four sections. The Association of American Medical Colleges periodically updates the percentile ranks to incorporate more recent data, but they remain pretty consistent over time. The MCAT has become so popular among medical schools because it gives admissions departments an easy way to compare potential applicants and to measure their readiness for graduate-level work.
Schools also look at your undergraduate transcripts, work history, letters of recommendation, essay and interview. Doing well on these other parts of your application is just as important as studying for the MCAT.
Do some research online to figure out what this is. If the school lists a range of acceptable scores instead, aim for the high end.
This gives them a different measure of your academic ability and your work ethic. They also try to get a sense of your personality and values through your interview, essay and letters of recommendation to make sure that you are a good fit for their culture.
You should put just as much effort into preparing these other components of your application as you do into studying for the MCAT because they could be the difference between acceptance and rejection. This is an online application processing service that enables you to apply to multiple medical schools from a single form.
Fortunately, most medical schools will only look at your highest score when considering your application. MCAT scores are usually valid for two to three years, but this varies by school. Unlike canceling, voiding leaves no indication on future score reports that you ever sat for the test at all.
You can only take the MCAT up to three times per year and seven times overall. MCAT total scores range from to , and section scores range from to
