Why do people say they "wrote" the MCAT or test?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
HAHA... I think this should be a mandatory replacement for "I am going to write the MCAT on ____"



Cornu Ammonis, you're right bro, I totally agree with your logic. I just took a ****, but in reality I left it behind!

Alright study break over I guess.
Why in the world did this thread from 2005 get necrobumped?.. Twice?!

Necrobumping... that sounds wrong. It got bumped cuz I bumped it! Seems like a pretty easy mystery to solve! 😉
 
some of you guys are really ******ed.

I won't say who exactly.

when you go to sit for the MCAT. You take a pencil (Hb) and you write on the test and you write on the paper. Hence afterwards you say you wrote the test. Its called proper english.

If you "took" the MCAT it means you picked it up and moved it somewhere. If I recall, that is a crime and AAMC can give you a zero and charge you for doing so.

If you "sit" the MCAT. You went in and sat on it. Hmmm makes it difficult to write the MCAT, unless you have the HB up your A$$.

In Quebec the translation is waiting in a tail, or waiting in line. Just to remind you, that is a different language and not ENGLISH.

BTW, I answered this thread... so now we know who is retarted. ME.
Often it is phrased as "sit for the exam", which makes more literal sense, even if it is awkward!
