Test Purpose

The knowledge base and technologies of medicine are rapidly changing and expanding. If future physicians are to keep pace with the requirements of their profession, they will need the ability to gather and assess data, to apply the basic concepts and principles of medicine to the solution of scientific and clinical problems, to update their knowledge and skills continually, and to communicate effectively with patients, colleagues, and the public. Medical schools are adapting to these changes by instituting selection processes that identify students able to develop and use these skills and by encouraging applicants to broaden their undergraduate education.

The goal of the MCAT is to help admission committees predict which of their applicants will be successful in medical school. In addition, the MCAT can be used to help applicants who are not accepted to medical school determine the academic areas in which they may need further study.

The design of the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) reinforces the goal of identifying medical school candidates who are broadly educated in the social sciences and humanities as well as in the natural and physical sciences. The MCAT assesses mastery of basic concepts in biology, chemistry, and physics; facility with scientific problem solving and critical thinking; and writing skills. The skills and concepts tested by the MCAT are those identified by physicians and medical educators as prerequisite for the practice of medicine.
