MCAT Practice Tests
Practice
with a purpose. There is no better way to study for
the MCAT exam than to take MCAT practice tests repeatedly. Get your
hands on every test you can.
The Association
of American Medical Colleges Web site offers tests
made up of actual MCAT questions used in previous versions of the exam.
The tests range from free to $80. The best value appears to be the MCAT Practice
Online Full Membership if you plan on purchasing multiple practice tests—which
you should! The Web versions of MCAT practice tests also offer additional features
such as automated scoring, solutions and diagnostic reports.
Taking the MCAT practice
test repeatedly will also help to identify your weaknesses, which is an excellent
study strategy. You can then use these weaknesses as a guide for where you should
focus extra time.
When taking these MCAT
practice tests, try your best to simulate the testing atmosphere. For example,
reduce any possible distractions, sit at a desk (rather than your bed or
the sofa) and time yourself. Ideally, this approach
should help you feel more comfortable during the actual MCAT exam.
Taking practice
tests under timed conditions is critical for your success on test day. You could probably
get most of the answers correct if you had unlimited time; however, this
is not the case. Don't allow yourself to be surprised - time yourself on
your practice tests. This will help condition yourself for the time constraints
of the exam. Use a timer, such as the timer featured on our web site, or
a wristwatch. Be aware that the AAMC does not allow timers in the test, but
instead prefers analog watches.

test recommended by AAMC
