MCAT Drawings to Scale? Whats the consensus on this..

Should we take the MCAT drawings to scale unless told otherwise?

For example, AAMC #3, Question 50 where it asks us which bond length is the longest. One could have answered this by using the drawing to scale to get the correct but can this be used on the actual mcat?

Hoping those who recently took it can chime in.

Thanks

No. Not to scale. Not precisely enough to dictate your answer choice, anyway.

In general (not just on the MCAT) you should always assume drawings are even graphs are NOT to scale, unless explicitly stated so. And even then, you should not rely on it.
