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
Dude, you're taking the MCAT???

loser students taking the easier LSAT.
