6.  Biological Sciences Biology / Organic Chemistry  Physical Sciences Physics / Chemistry  Verbal Reasoning

7.  There are still biological and physical science sections.  CARS = Verbal Reasoning (very similar).  Passages and questions continue to include complexity and details beyond what is tested.  The MCAT continues to reward a deep understanding of the content as opposed to memorization the details. CRITICAL THINKING!

8.  Content/Emphasis = WHAT is tested  Format = HOW it is tested  Scoring

9.  Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems Chemical and Physical  Foundations of Biological Systems Psychological, Social, and Biological  Foundations of Behavior (“Psychosocial”)  Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (“CARS”)

10.  Psychology & Sociology  CARS  Biological Sciences:  Physical Sciences:

11.  The test is now 50% longer (approx 7.5 hours long).  All sections are more relevant to medicine and are integrated across the sciences.  Passages are based on articles taken from published literature (ALL except certain physical science passages).  Half of all questions test research skills, except in the CARS section.  There is a new test section for psychology and sociology.

12. CURRENT :  Current MCAT: 1 – 15 points for each of the three sections (total max = 45).  National average is ~28  Medical student average ~31. 2015 :  MCAT 2015: Still 15 points per section. Now scaled 118 – 132 (total min = 472, total max = 528). Midpoint is 125.

13. Score of 128 in each section would be equivalent to a 30, or 10 in each section, on the current MCAT exam

14. NEW SCORE REPORT ~ will provide a great deal of information:  Percentile ranks will be reported for the total and section scores so you can see how you compare to other test takers who took the new exam.  Confidence bands will be reported to show the accuracy of your total and section scores. Similar to scores from the current exam, scores from the new exam will not be perfectly precise. Confidence bands show the ranges that are likely to include your scores on another MCAT attempt at about the same time. The upper and lower bounds of the confidence bands will mark the ranges in which your "true scores" likely lie. Confidence bands help signal the inaccuracy of test scores and discourage distinctions between applicants with similar scores.  Score profiles that show your strengths and weaknesses on the new exam will also be provided. Even though the new section scores have some imprecision, they are accurate enough to provide information about applicants' strengths and weaknesses across the four sections.

16.  Content/Emphasis = to match the NEW MCAT  Format = to best help students learn MCAT skills
