The MCAT exam is about to get shorter, so how will your score convert? From May 29 to September 28, 2020, the MCAT exam will be shortened to 5:45 hours from the normal 7:30 hours. What does this mean for you?
The AAMC made this decision due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to allow for three different times per test date (6:30 AM, 12:15 PM, and 6:00 PM). Examinees will still be tested on content from all four sections of the exam, and will still be scored from 472 to 528.
Since the number of questions in each section has to been reduced, students should take the AAMC practice exams in the same shortened format. Then enter the number of correctly answered questions you received, and we’ll share your simulated score!
