Whats are in the MCATS?

Question

What kind of questons are in the MCATS? Are they math problems? Anatomy Problems?? Please help. Thanks

Answer 1

MCAT guts!

Seriously - lots of science questions on anything that would apply to being in medical school - applied math, organic chemistry, biology, etc. If you are going to take it I recommend that you do a "practice exam" and use a study guide for a better result.

Answer 2

Normally, a 30 or higher is considered a reasonably competitive MCAT score, but if that GPA is based on a normal 10-point grading scale, then I would hazard a guess of 35+ ....and also, you might look into D.O. med-schools, which while they are still very good and will give you all the same privileges as a Doctor, traditionally accept lower GPA's/MCAT scores than M.D. med-schools (which usually have something like a 3.7 GPA/30 MCAT as their minimum, even if it's never stated anywhere)......Then again though, I think that's below the Cut-Off for D.O. schools also. I think if you want to have any realistic chance, you should go ahead and try to get a masters degree, etc., and keep a really good GPA throughout, that will overshadow your relatively poor undergraduate GPA. Also, preparing one hell of a personal statement for your application is definitely in order.

Answer 3

Do a web search. Just enter "mcats, preparation." There are many study guides available. Are you about to graduate from college and take the MCATS?

Answer 4

I have never taken them, but try this site

There is a link to practice tests on the left.

Good luck!

Answer 5

As mentioned before it is a long, difficult test that is used by medical schools to assess the readiness of an applicant to become a medical student and finish the stringent medical school program.
