Can I "Ctrl F" to Find words in a passage on the real MCAT

[E216]

I was wondering if I could use those functions to search for words I need...like if I see a word in context problem but dont remember where it was can i search for a specific word in a passage or no???

You know, as much as I really doubt that you could do that, I didn't personally try it, so I can't say that it doesn't work. But again, I seriously doubt it.

I took it last year and there was one. You may want to re-confirm this.

I don't think I was delusional and imagined it, haha.

Wait a second... I'm pretty sure that in the final screen of the AAMC practices it says something like "these features will not be on the actual MCAT." and talks about the search bar and solutions and stuff.

Can someone else confirm this?

I'm pretty sure my Kaplan instructor told me there was no search option on the real MCAT, if there was those details Qs would be that much easier... also if you highlight a passage and then return to it later, all ur highlighting will be gone on the real MCAT...the strikeout is definately there as far as i know...gosh I wish there was spellcheck on the writing part

I was probably thinking of the AAMC exams then. Sorry about the confusion.

yeah definitely no search bar

Just to further emphasize, there is no search bar or search function on the MCAT (Don't let the practice exams get your hopes up!). Also, all in-windows keyboard shortcuts are also disabled, so hitting the windows key, doing CTRL+F etc. will not work.

I read the OT haha that is hilarious I wish it did have that!

i didnt wanna try messing around with the computer. lol

 

[scaredoflife]

If the test did have Ctrl F option believe me I would spend more time practicing computer speed skills haha! laughed at the op haha!

There is no search. I've taken the CBT twice. I think its there on the practice ones for review purposes.

i think those work but only in the writing section.

there is also a button for "copy" and "paste" also.

everything is explained in the tutorial i believe
