Title: Mock MCAT Exam
Description: The Pre-Health Professions Advising Office is hosting a free mock MCAT exam. We are attempting to create a realistic environment so you will only have access to your lunch and personal items during breaks in the practice exam. You must arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the exam.
In order to register for the free practice test, you must complete 3 steps. First, you must sign up for The Princeton Review’s MCAT Ultimate Free Trial. Next, you must register for the free practice test at Hunter on Wednesday, April 4th using the SAME INFORMATION that you used when you signed up for the MCAT Ultimate Free Trial. Following both of these steps will allow you to receive a detailed, interactive score report with in-depth explanations for every item on the practice exam, so you’ll understand where you need to improve. If you do not register for the MCAT Ultimate Free Trial prior to registering for the practice test, you will only receive a simple breakdown of your score.
