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.

A free online MCAT practice test recommended by AAMC is available here.
