Instead of having 2 dates a year spring and fall to take the MCAT you could have as many as 20 dates per year. The test could also be shortened to about 5 hours.

Computerized MCAT[/QUOTE]
a synopsis of the information provided in the link above courtesy of the Princeton Review:
For those of you planning to take the MCAT in 2007 or later, know this about the changes: they aren't a big deal. Mostly, the changes will make the MCAT more convenient for you:
The CBT will still be timed sections and the content will be identical to the paper exam. You simply complete the test on a computer rather than with a pencil on a bubble sheet.
CBT tests will be offered more frequently, perhaps up to 20 test dates per year as opposed to the 2 dates now.
You'll take the MCAT in a more comfortable setting think "computer lab."
You'll get your MCAT scores faster - possibly in half the time.
Likely the test will be shorter, around 5 hours rather than the 8 hours the test is now.

"The security of the test is paramount. To ensure the identity of the examinees, the MCAT examination will use a biometric identification system with electronic photos and fingerprints in place of a test taker's photograph and ink thumbprints. Electronic records will be used to identify previous or ineligible test takers. Medical schools will continue to receive a copy of these records to compare as they see fit with the applications of examinees who enroll."
scary as GMAT didn't have this.
I wonder why you can't have your score computed there either like GMAT? I was nice to walk out knowing your score.
