What Is on the MCAT Exam?

The MCAT exam has been part of the medical school admissions process for over 90 years. Most medical schools in the United States, and many in Canada, require applicants to submit recent MCAT scores. Additionally, many other health professions and graduate programs accept MCAT scores as evidence indicating academic knowledge and skill relevant to their field of study. In conjunction with its member medical schools, the AAMC develops and administers the MCAT exam multiple times each year. The exam is administered at hundreds of Pearson VUE testing sites in the United States, Canada, and select locations throughout the world. The MCAT exam tests concepts that medical school faculty, residents, and students rate important to entering students’ success in the medical school curriculum. It is a standardized, computer-based exam with content divided into four multiple-choice sections. Each section includes some “field-test” questions (that is, questions being considered for future use that do not count toward your total score).
