The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a standardized test consisting of four parts: essays (one part) and three multiple-choice tests (verbal reasoning, physical sciences, and biological sciences) (one-part each). The multiple-choice tests are scored on a scale of 1-15 in whole-number increments. The national average for all students taking the MCAT is between 8 and 9 on each of the three multiple-choice portions of the test. For students admitted to medical school, the average test score is about 10 on each part, for a combined score on the multiple-choice portions of the exam of about 30. Starting in the year 2007 the MCAT was changed in several ways. It is now computerized, takes less time and is scheduled many more times during the year.
