Your opinions on MCAT

[deleted212839]

Have any of you felt that MCAT tests your analysis & deduction skills and/or endurance rather than science? The more I practice it, the more I feel this way.

Also, do you think MCAT should be required for Med school entrance?

My opinion: I think it's good to have some kind of standardized test to compare the performance of a broad range of students on the same task (an A from an Ivy school is not easy to earn as an A in a public college, IMO).

That's what it's supposed to do. I agree that you need some sort of "standardized" test by which to compare people. GPA is too variable to be the only quantitative evaluation.
