MCAT Changes For The Pandemic Cycle

MCAT Changes for the Pandemic Cycle leah4sciIt’s a crazy time to be living in 2020. Like it or not, this global pandemic has affected almost every area of life. Sadly, the MCAT and med school application cycle are not exempt from the craziness.

Let's make a plan by first understanding  what the changes are to the test and, more importantly, how you can prepare to be successful on this new, shorter version of the MCAT.

First things first, how is the pandemic MCAT different from the old test? How long is given for each section? And which questions have been removed? For answers to these and more, stop and view the following article as well as my AAMC Pandemic Update videos.
