The desire to become a doctor is nursed by thousands of students and there are a number of them who keep trying every year till they succeed in getting admission to a desired medical college. If you are one of those students who place a career in medicine above all other career options, then you have to be prepared well in order to face the competition for getting admission to a reputed medical institution. Most medical colleges across the US and Canada consider the Medical College Admission Test (MACT) scores along with other criteria for evaluation of your suitability for admission. The other criteria include your college GPA, essays and letters of recommendation.
Though the MCAT scores are not the only criteria for determining your suitability for admissions but high MCAT scores increase the probability of your getting selected for a desired medical college program. Therefore, in addition to a good performance in your undergraduate studies, you will also have to garner high MCAT scores in order to be considered for admissions by reputed medical institutions. This can be achieved only by a thorough and dedicated MCAT preparation plan.
Don't be deceived into believing that if you have done very well in your undergraduate studies, then you need not bother about high MCAT scores. A good GPA and a poor MCAT score will create a negative impression on the medical college admission committees. No matter how high your college GPA is, you should strive to attain at least the national average MCAT scores in all the sections of the MCAT. If you have an average GPA, then it is absolutely necessary for you to score high in the MCAT.
The MCAT test format consists of the Physical Sciences section, Verbal Reasoning section, Writing Sample section and the Biological Sciences section. The questions asked in each of these sections test your problem solving skills in addition to critical thinking, reasoning and writing skills. These skills would have been developed by you during the course of your undergraduate studies. However, in spite of possessing these skills you will be required to carry out MCAT preparation with extensive review of the content tested by the MCAT. Your knowledge of the fundamentals of the subjects tested by the MCAT may be of a good level; nevertheless, you will require a lot of practice to master the art of applying your knowledge for problem solving.
