"The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)"

The Medical College Admission Test, more commonly known as the MCAT, is a prerequisite exam for students looking to gain entry to medical school in the US and Canada.

Designed and administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), it is a computer-based standardized test that allows admissions councils to compare the knowledge, skills and readiness of all med school applicants.

Your MCAT score will be considered alongside other selection criteria, such as your academic record, extra-curricular activities and letters of recommendation. That said, the MCAT is generally considered one of the most important aspects of the application, so should be given considerable attention.

The exam is administered several times throughout the year from January to September. It can be taken up to three times in any given testing year and four times over two years, with a maximum of seven attempts in a lifetime.
