Taking the MCAT is a very important step on your journey into Medical School and beyond. But before you take the MCAT and find out your score and get to see whether you are competitive for the top Med Schools, you may want to take a free MCAT diagnostic test to get a bit of a preview or prediction of what you might score on MCAT test day.
This is why we at Wizeprep have come up with our free MCAT Flash Practice exam to give you a head start in learning about the MCAT and where you may score when you take the exam yourself.
What is the MCAT Flash Practice Exam?
Our free MCAT Flash Practice Exam is a timed diagnostic assessment that includes practice passages and questions from each section of the MCAT. The length of this diagnostic tool is 2 hours. Please note that the official MCAT examination includes 6.25 hours of testing time. So while this MCAT Flash Practice Exam gives you a sense of the types of questions you will encounter on the MCAT, you should finish it in a fraction of the time it will take you to complete the official MCAT.
Our free MCAT diagnostic test offers you 56 questions, so you'll still have to watch the timer as you go through in the same way that you will on MCAT test day.
What is the MCAT Flash Structure?
Our free MCAT Flash Practice Exam is a multiple choice test. Similar to the official MCAT, the exam is predominantly passage-based, meaning that you will need to read passages and then answer questions based on the passages.
The questions will follow the same order as the four sections on the MCAT:
- Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
- Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills
- Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
- Psychological, Social and Biological Foundations of Behaviour
How is the MCAT Flash Practice Exam Scored?
Once you complete the free MCAT Flash Diagnostic Exam, you will receive a predicted MCAT score based on the official MCAT scoring range.
If you're not familiar with the MCAT scoring range, each section has a scaled score from 118-132. The four sections are added to provide students with an overall score from 472-528. The average MCAT score is approximately 500 and most students in North America are hoping to score 510 or better to be competitive for most medical schools.
The free MCAT Flash Diagnostic Exam will also provide you with a percentile rank that compares your performance with all of our other MCAT Flash test takers.
What score will get you in the top 2% of MCAT test takers?
Guess what? A score 515 puts you in the top 2% of those taking the MCAT, which means that with a grade-point average of 3.79 or above, applicants with an MCAT score in the 514-517 range have a 76.1% acceptance rate compared to a student who scored in the very respectable 506-509 range (a 52.6% acceptance rate).
So take that free MCAT Diagnostic test in order to see whether you will be in that top 2% or not.
