WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT ABOUT THE MCAT EXAM IN 2013

AND 2014?

If you plan to take the MCAT exam in 2013 or 2014, please note that the Writing Sample

section will no longer be part of the exam. In its place, a voluntary, unscored trial section

will be added to the MCAT exam starting in January 2013. The unscored questions on the

Trial Section will test content that will be added to the MCAT in 2015, including content

in psychology, sociology, and biochemistry. The Trial Section will consist of 32 questions

and will be administered in a 45-minute time period after all three operational sections

(Physical Sciences, Verbal Reasoning, and Biological Sciences) have been administered.

Including the Trial Section, the 2013 and 2014 total testing time will be shorter than it was

in 2012.

What is discipline? Burning the midnight oil when you would rather sleep.

One of the Fastest Growing Careers in America

Anesthesiologists are Doctors of Medicine (MDs) that concentrate on

the care of surgical patients and pain relief. As with other physicians,

they evaluate and treat patients and direct the efforts of those on

their staffs. Some of the primary responsibilities of an anesthesiolo-

gist include examining patient to determine the type of anesthetic

needed, communicating all relevant information to the appropriate

medical practitioners, and administering local, intravenous, or spinal

anesthetic to the patient.
