Is the mcat a "content" test?

is the mcat tons of content , where if you study you could do really well, or is it like the SAT in the sense of being all about time; moving and reading fast?

Answer:
MCAT is a reading test - it tests your ability to read and understand what you have read, extrapolate the information and use them to answer question.

Obviously, if you have strong science back ground, you will have better understanding to start with, and the information that is tests may be something you already know without having to read. On the other hand, you don't need strong scientific background to do fine on the test, as long as you have taken the basic recommended science classes.

The closest analogy to MCAT would be ACT. I took both of those many moons ago and found them very similar. I liked that test format.

I hated SAT.
Its not really content... its more like concepts. It wants to see how smart you are, not how hard you studied. Or i could be wrong. I think those tests are state specific anyways, so yours could be about that bowl of crispy crunch i had. It was actually very good. If you sprinkle some sugar on the top it tastes sweet. I always either put to little milk in, or i put to much in and drink some to level it off and then end up with to little. That really sucks. I wish my bowl was seethrough so i couls see how much milk it had.
The MCAT is a thinking test, but it depends on the basic science. In other words, you need to study the content well to succeed, but you'll have to prove that you can apply that content in novel ways.

The best way to prepare is to first get a strong grasp of the material. Get an MCAT book, like the big Kaplan book sold in most bookstores. You don't need to take classes or get a stack of textbooks. Work through the MCAT book and study it well. Then just work practice questions. If you really understand the material, it shouldn't be that difficult to think through the questions. With practice, it'll get easier.
