A BREAKDOWN OF THE MCAT
The MCAT is a standardized, multiple-choice exam designed to assess the knowledge and skills necessary for success in medical school.
The test is divided into four sections:
- Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
- Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
- Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
- Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.
Each section evaluates a different aspect of a candidate’s understanding, ranging from biological and chemical principles to critical thinking and analysis.
Average MCAT Scores Required:
– MD Programs: Approximately 511
– DO Programs: Approximately 503
– Caribbean Schools: Ranging from 490 to 500
This comprehensive exam is a critical component of the medical school application process, reflecting a student’s readiness for the rigorous demands of medical education.
