1. How was is it different then the traditional paper for you?
- Not much different.

2. What did you like/dislike?
- Likes: We could take longer/shorter breaks, the room was very comfortable and the temperature was steady and nice, the chair was comfortable, we were provided with ear muffs, the essay was much easier to write and edit.
- Dislikes: Not being able to write on the test (it wasn't really that big of a deal anyway).

3. Break down of time - how long? start/stop times? breaks?
- Timing was standard, but we could have started the sections when we wanted to.

4. Timers?
- There was a timer at the lower left corner of the screen.

5. What you had with you at the computer? scrap paper, etc..
- Paper and two pencils were provided.

6. PC monitor/keyboard, comfortable on the eyes/hand? Good response?
- Only slight eye discomfort, but I had that the day before the MCAT too (it was my contacts).

7. Any other advise for future E-MCATers?
- The CBT was pretty comfortable actually. If you don't mind not being able to write on the tests, then the CBT is for you.

There's another thread for this with more comments. I loved it (relatively speaking) and got out by 1pm. I'm very glad I did the CBT.
