Random questions about the actual MCAT

[onedirection]

I was wondering

On the actual MCAT,

Can we increase the size of the font of text?

Will Cross-outs carry over on marked questions?

If I click on a white area/double click will that notes box show up?

If I double click on something will it highlight?

Can I highlight things in the question?

Is there actually a pause feature if we have to go use the bathroom?

Great questions that I would like answered as well.

I know that the notes function does not exist on the actual MCAT and it's only a function on the practice ones.

I wish the double clicking on a word actually highlights because it's way faster and I get annoyed when I do it on the practice AAMC tests and the notes box comes up

As far as I know, you're not allowed to leave during a section. You can only use the bathroom during one of the breaks

Is there actually a pause feature if we have to go use the bathroom?

Definitely not. I don't know if you're allowed to go to the bathroom during a section or not but the timer will not stop regardless.

I would like to know if font size can be varied...

I just took the MCAT 2 days ago:

The font size cannot be varie. Yes crossouts will carry over, for all the questions. On the real test, the notes thing doesn't exist and double clicking will highlight the word (very convenient). You can't highlight anything in the question, and you definitely cannot pause the test in the middle to take a bathroom break

The practice AAMCs will give you the best idea of how the test is set up. With the exception of the pause feature, everything else is the same. There is no increasing of the font nor highlighting of the questions (you can highlight the passage).

Just FYI you can definitely leave during a section to go to the bathroom, but your time keeps running.

Also "excessive" bathroom breaks during sections will be reported by testing center staff.
