A grueling, terrible 9-hour exam required of all students applying to medical school. It is the hardest and longest of all
graduate school examinations. Only the strong-willed and intelligent-minded survive. The exam tests critical reasoning and not just content.
Composed of the Physical Sciences (Physics and
General Chemistry), Verbal Reasoning, Writing, and Biological Sciences (Biology and
Organic Chemistry).
Physical Sciences & Biological Sciences - 100 minutes each (62 passage-based questions, 15 discrete)
Verbal Reasoning (not reading comprehension. Questions ask "why?" not "what?") - 85 minutes (all passage-based)
Writing - 60 minutes (2 essays, 1 hour, separately timed)
Scored from 3-45 for composite score, J-T for writing
