However, no preparation is needed for this practice test - just show up, take the test, and see which areas you need to work on to ace the test. Even if you are not sure about medical school, this is a great way to familiarize yourself with a very essential part of the process of getting into medical school.
Answer keys will be provided after you are done as well as your tests will be scored and returned to you at the next general meeting.
Remember - you will need to take a diagnostic test to see where you stand before you start preparing for the MCAT (or any other standardized test). This is a great way to take the MCAT for free in a familiar location with your colleagues and friends.Location: TBA
