The January MCAT had lots more physics when compared to the September 2015 version. This section was surprisingly heavy with biology and biochemistry, considering that this section is supposed to test just 25% biochemistry and 5% biology.
Section 1: Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems However, there were also many similarities between the January MCAT exams. The answer is, “GOOD!” It means you cannot take someone’s feedback and think, “ So if they were tested on magnetism, I will be too.” Instead, realize that any topic on the AAMC outline is FAIR GAME on test day! This leads me to assume there was more than 1 version of the MCAT given on a single day.Ĭomments varied greatly from reports of “Lots of genetics questions”’ to “Nothing related to genetics.” Students testing on the SAME day reported DIFFERENT concepts and specific topics tested. Some of them were repeat MCAT testers and were able to compare their 2015 experience to the January exam. Unfortunately not everyone who registered for January was able to test thanks to the blizzard that swept the mid/upper East Coast but I did hear from a handful of students who took the MCAT on January 22nd and 23rd, 2016. While we know much more about the style and format of the new exam, it appears they are still testing and tweaking the overall exam format despite 2016 coming with hopes of clarity and consistency. It’s clear that the AAMC is still trying to figure out the nature and direction of the exam based on the feedback of students who tested throughout 2015. 2016, this is the second year of the new 7.5 hour MCAT.
