The MCAT Test
Ever wonder how your physician
became a doctor? Med school, right? Sure, but that’s not how it began.
Before he/she was a doctor, there was medical school. Before there was
medical school, there was the loathsome MCAT test. Sounds like every other
admissions test-- the LSAT, GMAT, SAT
and so on—but since our lives lie in the hands of these everyday professionals,
let’s hope they passed their MCAT test with flying colors!
Developed by the Association
of American Medical Colleges, the MCAT test is composed of four sections:
verbal reasoning, physical sciences, biological sciences and a writing sample.
The standardized test evaluates problem solving, critical thinking and writing
skills as well as candidates’ knowledge of science concepts and principles
required for the study of medicine. The skills tested are aimed at encouraging
students with extensive educational backgrounds to consider a health profession
career.
Along with undergraduate
records, references and personal interviews, the MCAT test is required by
almost all U.S. medical schools for admission. MCAT test scores are used
to determine which students will be likely to succeed in their program,
identify applicants’
strengths and weaknesses and to interpret candidates’ transcripts and
letters of evaluation.
