Medical College Admission Test (MCAT):
General Information: The MCAT is a standardized, multiple choice
examination designed to assess problem solving, critical thinking, and writing skills in addition to the examinee's knowledge of
science concepts and principles perquisite to the study of medicine. Almost all U.S. medical schools require applicants to submit
MCAT scores during the application process.
The MCAT is now Computerized: Starting in January 2007 the MCAT will be delivered as a computerized exam only. There will be 22 test administrations per year with both morning and afternoon session’s offerings throughout the year. For test dates and locations please check the MCAT web page. The total test day has been reduced from an all day test to approximately 5 hours.
Registration: Check the MCAT web page for registration information and cost for the test. Registration is done online beginning six months before each test date. A credit card is needed to register for the MCAT.
Identification Requirements: Each candidate must be positively identified before he/she can be admitted to the test. You must provide personal identification in the form of a current government-issued ID, containing your photo and signature (e.g. driver’s license or passport). If you do not have government-issued identification, you must contact the MCAT Program Office prior to registering for the exam.
