Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AAMC Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and why do medical schools require it?

The MCAT is a standardized, computer-based exam created by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) to assess problem solving, critical thinking, and science concepts needed for medical training. Medical schools use MCAT scores, along with GPA and other factors, to evaluate academic readiness and compare applicants fairly.

What subjects and skills are tested on the MCAT exam?

The MCAT tests concepts from biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, psychology, and sociology, plus critical reading and reasoning skills. It emphasizes applying scientific knowledge to passages and data rather than memorizing isolated facts.

How is the MCAT exam structured and what are its four main sections?

The MCAT has four sections:

  • Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
  • Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS)
  • Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
  • Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior

Each section is multiple-choice and contributes equally to your total score.

What is considered a competitive MCAT score for U.S. medical schools?

A competitive MCAT score is often around or above the average for matriculants, commonly in the 511–515 range for many MD programs, though this varies by school. Some schools accept lower scores with strong GPAs and experiences, while highly selective programs may expect higher ranges.

Who is eligible to take the MCAT and are there any prerequisites or course requirements?

Most examinees are planning to apply to health professions programs such as MD, DO, podiatry, or veterinary medicine. The AAMC expects test takers to be on a medical or health-professions track, but it does not require specific college courses; however, most students complete core premed sciences first.

What are the most effective ways to use full-length practice exams to prepare for the MCAT?

Full-length Prephow MCAT practice tests help you build stamina, refine timing, and identify content weaknesses under realistic conditions. Reviewing every question, especially explanations for missed or guessed items, turns each exam into a powerful learning tool and guides your next study steps.

How far in advance should I start preparing for the MCAT and how many months of study are typically recommended?

Many students prepare for the MCAT over 3-6 months, depending on their course background, schedule, and score goals. Consistent weekly study time, content review, and regular practice exams are more important than the exact number of months.

How long are MCAT scores valid for medical school applications?

The AAMC keeps official scores available for several years, but each medical school sets its own policy on score “age.” Many schools accept scores that are about two to three years old at the time of matriculation.
