MCAT

The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is an entrance examination for the US allopathic medical schools. This test covers topics in biological sciences, physical sciences, verbal reasoning, and writing. The MCAT is a standardized test administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) to prospective medical students as a means to standardise comparison between them for purposes of admission to medical school. The exam is currently taken entirely on paper. However, a computer-based version will be offered at select testing sites in the fall of 2005, and all future administrations of the exam starting in the spring of 2007 are expected to be computer-based.
