The MCAT

The MCAT is a 7.5 hour computer-based test that serves as the standardized test for prospective medical school students. The MCAT is required for a medical school application and is most commonly taken in the spring semester of a student's junior year if they wish to enter medical school upon graduating undergrad. The MCAT covers four concepts:

​

• 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
