Order of subjects on the MCAT?

[CloverBale]

Please don't hurt me, but does anyone know the order of the subjects on the MCAT? I promise you I googled and searched for the answers.

I heard they sometimes put CARS last

Lol is that a joke? If so, it went completely over my head.

It's funny, the AAMC Official Guide is really ambiguous about this... I was practicing passages in the wrong order until I took my first practice FL

Hi @CloverBale ! Great question. This forum can get pretty deep into the woods about the MCAT so it can be tough to find the big picture details.

You can find these and many other details for free in the AAMC MCAT outline. you can get full details and breakdowns if you purchase the AAMC official guide or peruse this forum a bit more.

Section 1: Chemistry, biochemistry, orgo and physics 95 minutes, 59 Qs
Section2: CARS, no outside knowledge needed (can be literature, social science, art, music....) 90 minutes, 53 questions
Section 3: Bio, biochem, orgo 95 minutes, 59 questions
Section 4: Psychology, sociology, biology 95 minutes, 59 questions

The majority (44/59) of science Qs and all the CARS Qs are passage based.

Hope this helps, good luck!
