Computer Based Test for the MCAT

2006 will be remembered as the last year of the paper MCAT and 2007 is the introduction of the Computer Based Test (CBT). The content is the same but the new exam is a shorter test.

Here is a summary of the 2007 MCAT changes:

• the new test is shorter (approximately 5 hours vs. the current testing time of 8 hours).
• students receive their scores more quickly.
• the exam is now offered more frequently throughout the year (up to 20 testing dates).
• the test is given in smaller, climate-controlled rooms.
• you will be provided with scratch paper for your calculations.
• you can highlight parts of the passage or strike out answers on your computer screen.
