The test will be held at Prometric Test Centre located at Science Centre Road.

The four sections of the MCAT test result in a separate score each. The Physical Sciences, Verbal Reasoning and Biological Sciences Sections, each comprised of multiple-choice questions, are scored between a low 1 and a high of 15. The Writing Sample section consists of two essays. Each essay is scored twice on a scale of 1-6 and ultimately converted to an alphabetical scale.

Scores will be released approximately 30 days after each test date.

If you feel that your scores are low and do not accurately reflect your abilities, you may take the test again.

Schools use multiple sets of scores in several ways.

  • Some schools weigh all sets of score equally and weigh improvements.
  • Some consider only the most recent set of scores.
  • Some schools take the average of all sets of scores.
  • Some schools use the highest set of scores or the highest individual section scores.
