What is the "Medical College Admission Test"?
The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a standardized exam required for students applying to medical schools in the United States, Canada, and some other countries. It evaluates knowledge in biology, chemistry, and physics, along with critical thinking, problem-solving, and an understanding of social and behavioral sciences. The MCAT also assesses skills in reading comprehension and scientific reasoning. Medical schools use MCAT scores as an important part of the admissions process to determine an applicant's readiness for the rigorous academic and practical challenges of medical education.
