Pulled this off of AAMC's webside...do ya'll think it'll make a difference?

An Updated MCAT Is Coming!
In 2003, the MCAT will change slightly. A few organic chemistry questions will be replaced by questions on DNA and genetics, the Verbal Reasoning (VR) section will have five fewer questions, it will be possible to achieve a 14 or 15 on the VR, and a total score will be reported (e.g., 45T). The changes are subtle, but may provide a better opportunity for many students interested in medicine.
 
This is stupid. The whole reason verbal is hard is because of the time constraint. The questions aren't really hard, it's just impossible to read everything and think. With 5 less questions, that will take quite a load off.
