Why is it necessary that the MCAT be 8 hours long, or any assessment for that matter? If an organization wants to know how well a person can analyze, evaluate, etc, wouldn't they want that person in somewhat alert condition? I feel like an 7-8 hour test isn't showing my best work to adcoms, and I know most of us would do better if the test were given in two 3.5 hr sittings.
So why all at once? If the answer is "because USMLE's are also very long tests", then my question is, why are those so long? And how long is too long before the length of the test starts affecting results and data gathered?
