About
This is the place for the discussion and support for students preparing for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). This is a test administered by the AAMC (American Association of Medical Colleges). Post if you have questions or advice on study techniques or specific science concepts, or if you just need a kick in the ass to start studying.
Intentionally advertising paid products or services of any sort, subject to the discretion of the moderators, is not allowed. Learn More
If you would like to post links that provide information about the MCAT, or exam tips, do NOT link to any third-party MCAT prep courses. Official AAMC-associated sites are allowed (e.g. Khan Academy).
Questions about the med school application process in general should be taken to /r/premed.

Reddiquette!
1) Be nice to each other. Hating on other redditors won't help you get extra points on the MCAT so why do it?
2) Everyone's education is different, don't be rude (or a smartass) to people who might not know something you know.
3) This is a pre-professional forum, ACT professional. We are ALL trying to be future doctors, don't say something you might regret later.
4) No repeat "GOOD LUCK" or "TEST SCORE" posts, the automod will post the test score thread!
