Whats the difference between the old paper-and-pencil MCAT and the computer-based MCAT?
The content on the computer-based MCAT is the same as the paper-and-pencil test, but the computer-based test will have fewer questions. The main difference is that the computer-based test is administered on a computer, so proctored timing is more precise in a way that wasn’t possible with a human proctor. And, just like the paper test, testers can jump around within a section and answer items in any order they wish. Plus, the computerized test has electronic tools that allow testers to cross out wrong answer choices, highlight text, and search for a word or phrase.
