MCAT Preparation

The good news: what you learned in your premedical courses is actually on the test. Studying for the MCAT is about taking that knowledge, stored way back in the nooks and crannies of your mind, and adapting it to the test. Sound daunting? You’ve come to the right place.

The MCAT is administered more than twenty times per year. Achieving your best score on the MCAT takes substantial time and it's important to have the test out of the way by the time your medical application process is in full swing. 

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) publishes the MCAT and hosts the admissions portal for medical school (AMCAS). Start by creating an account with AAMC, so you can familiarize yourself with the available resources. A word of caution, though: you should save free practice materials for when you are ready to study in earnest, as they are scarce.
