Guest crimson Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I'm curious... what do you think would happen if there is a massive discrepancy between the old paper format and the newer, shorter computerized version of the MCAT? I could see a few factors help students achieve higher scores in 2007: shorter sections, FAR more times to take the exam... but at the same time working on a computer could also be tougher? Do you think the schools will consider the date the MCAT will be written or will they just wait and see over the next few cycles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcatmania Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 there aren't any major changes except that instead of being on paper its on computer. The content is still the same, and the length in proportion to the time stays the same. Also they aren't coming up with new passages. Just like everyyear you have experimental passages, the same will be true for the CBT. AAMC would go at length to make sure that the people taking the CBT version are not at an advantaged compared to the peopel taking the paper version. Also since your ranked against everyone else, the national median and the mean will probably not change. If the marks are higher for CBT the curve will be less genearous, and vice versa.
