I just read somewhere that the real MCAT is about 20 questions longer per section than the AAMC practice mcats.... is this true?

That is an untrue statement.

That is an untrue statement.

20 more questions per section? no. nope. where did you hear that?

that is an untrue statement

maybe the info was about the old format? thankfully it's been pared down. ugh, I don't know what i'd do with 60 VR questions.

well that didn't turn out right. but if you wanna see the table, login to e-mcat.com and click on the tab on the left that says "how's the mcat scored".

yeah that's the old format with the 60 VR questions...the new one only has 40, and 52 in each of the science sections. Still 2 Writing sample prompts, however.

Its the same. Just feels longer because of the stress of it being the one that counts.
