I thought you already took the MCAT but maybe I'm getting you mixed up with someone. Anyhow, the changes as far as I know are:
1. You take it in a different order than before with PS, VR, WS, BS.
2. BS now includes genetics
3. VR has 60 questions (5 fewer than before)
I'm not sure exactly about no. 3 but I definitely know the VR has fewer questions now than it used to have. There may be more changes but I am not sure. I was really happy because although I never practiced on an unrevised version, I think these changes made it easier for me. I think they used to have BS first and that is my worst section so it's nice to start things off on a good note. I dind't take any bio so genetics was a great add because it is one of the easiest things to learn quickly. It's a pretty logical process so you don't get bogged down in too many strange details. The VR one probably didn't make a difference beucase I think you still ahve the same number of passages.
