Font size on MCat

I was just wondering if the font size can be changed on the MCAT. For the Self Assessment, they give instructions using ALT -/+ to change the font. Can we do this on the REAL MCAT as well? I find it hard to focus when the font is so large, especially for verbal, for some reason.

You'd have to contact AAMC and ask for it, because the zoom feature is for people with disabilities according to them. I think it said that on e-mcat also.

I also had a hard time focusing because of the font when I practiced. The font on my laptop was too small because my laptop has a 13.3" screen with 1600x900 resolution. I switched to a desktop with a 19" screen and a 1680x1050 resolution but the font was too big on that.

2 days ago when I took the real thing the font didn't bother me at all. Trust me you'll be way too busy trying to answer questions to notice. The screen at the testing center was ~ 14-15" with a horrible resolution, the font was too big, but it wasn't an issue.

lol I don't understand why you would want fonts to be smaller but you can't adjust the fonts. You should've applied for accommodations which were due way back then.
