The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is a standardized test required for admissions into medical school. It tests applicants problem solving, critical thinking and knowledge of natural, behavioral and social science concepts and principals.
There are four different sections that are scored on the MCAT:
• Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
• Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
• Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
• Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills The MCAT is administered multiple times between January and September each year. Though applicants do not need to apply to medical school the same year that they take the MCAT, the test results do expire after three years. Each test date has three different deadlines, with the third deadline occurring eight days before the exam and costing more.
For more information on taking the MCAT, visit the Association of American Medical Colleges.
