I told Jill I was going to write about the MCAT's content after we've taken it. I think this information should be available to MCAT takers who know how to search for it. I really did not like studying for a test not knowing what it's about.
The MCAT has two parts. I'll start with part 2 since it is easier to describe. It's basically a psych exam that supposedly measures your value system and emotional quotient.
The first part has five tests which has subtests in each of them. I just want to say that it's hard - much harder than the NMAT. A big factor which caused the difficulty is that I didn't know what would be asked. They just say that it's like the NMAT.
I beg to differ. The five tests are English, Behavioral Sciences, Life Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Numerical Ability.
I'm not going to be overly detailed because maybe it's a secret... hahaha, but I doubt that.
The English part was moderately difficult because of the vocabulary part which for me had multiple meanings. Weirdly, it was mostly about computers. I wondered why. The time limit was short which adds to the stress. Numerical ability is obviously Mathematics. That was the hardest part for me because I didn't get to study the topics in that exam.
Natural Sciences included Chemistry, Physics, Geology (weird, right!?). I'm not sure if I missed anything. Life Sciences was about Botany and Zoology. It also asked about Anatomy. Behavioral Sciences is all about Psychology.
That's about it. It's really a lot harder than the NMAT but it could be easier if one can prepare. The best way to prepare is to know what the content is, in my opinion. It's too bad no one could answer us prior to the MCAT. Hahaha.
Still, I hope my friends and I will be accepted by PLM-CM.
