MCAT Registration and Testing Plans in 2021<\/h4>\n
\nBeginning in January, the MCAT exam will once again return to its traditional length. Each exam day will offer two full-length exam sessions: one at 7:30 a.m. and the other at 3:00 p.m. This schedule helps limit the number of people in a test center and allows for the necessary social distancing.\u00a0We encourage you to learn more about the AAMC’s health and safety protocols on their website.<\/a><\/p>\n
\nLater this month the AAMC will release enhanced free resources and a new, low-cost product to help students prepare for the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills section of the MCAT exam.\u00a0Sign up here to be notified when the MCAT Prep resources are available.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
