The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a computer-based standardized test required for admission to medical school in the USA and Canada. It is designed to assess problem solving, critical thinking, written analysis, and writing skills in addition to knowledge of scientific concepts and principles.
See information on our Test Prep Tutors for the MCAT.
The exam is offered 25 or more times per year at Prometric centers.
Most students take the MCAT in their junior or senior year of college, before they apply to medical school.
