What if you aced the experimental passage?

[LUBDUBB]

If there is an experimental passage, what if you nailed that one, but you bombed another real passage. Then the points you got on the experimental don't get awarded, and you get taken off for the other passage?

What is all this talk about an experimental passage???? What is that?

How does the MCAT get test questions?

A large pool of content experts writes the items. New items are included in each administration of the MCAT as "field test" questions. Field test questions are not scored, but they are assessed for their performance and, if they are approved, are used on a future MCAT.

So I guess that's right, you'd get no points for the experimental passage.

I think if lots of people ace it, they just won't use it. It has nothing to do with your score.
