MCAT® Preparation with AmericaTutors.com
Are you planning to apply for medical school in the United States or Canada? Then the MCAT® (Medical College Admission Test) is your essential first step.
The MCAT® is a computer-based exam developed by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and delivered worldwide through Pearson VUE. It evaluates not only your scientific knowledge but also your reasoning and problem-solving skills — the core qualities medical schools look for in future doctors.
What Does the MCAT® Test?
The MCAT® assesses your knowledge and skills in four main areas:
- Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems (59 questions, 95 minutes)
- Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems (59 questions, 95 minutes)
- Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behaviour (59 questions, 95 minutes)
- Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS) (53 questions, 90 minutes)
Total test time: 6 hours 15 minutes (about 7 hours 30 minutes at the test centre including breaks).
Key Facts About the MCAT®
- Offered about 15 times a year worldwide
- No formal qualification is required to sit the exam, but schools set their own admission requirements
- Scores are valid for 3 years
- Maximum limits: 3 attempts per year, 4 attempts in 2 years, 7 attempts in a lifetime
- Scores range from 472–528, with percentile ranks updated annually on 1 May
- Registration fees vary depending on when you book: Gold Zone, Silver Zone, or Bronze Zone (early registration saves money)
Why is the MCAT® Important?
Medical schools in the US and Canada rely on MCAT® scores as one of the most trusted predictors of success in medical education. A high score strengthens your application — but while it’s necessary to apply, it does not guarantee admission.
