Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)
The MCAT has four sections and lasts approximately 6 hours. Test day requires endurance, knowledge, strategy, and confidence—as does your test preparation process. Investing time and energy now will improve both the experience and the outcome of your MCAT exam.
