The science Question Packs are good material, but because they’re not as representative of the new test, they’re not essential. You can do the Question Packs at any time during your studying. That also means that you don’t need to save these until close to your test. That means you want to treat them more like a tool for content review as opposed to a tool for realistic practice. The Question Packs are taken from the old MCAT (pre-2015), so for the sciences at least they’re not as representative of the current test. Each Question Pack has 120 questions, with a combination of discrete and passage-based questions. There are six total Question Packs: two for biology, one for chemistry, one for physics, and two for CARS. So I’ve laid out in this article exactly when and how you should use all of the AAMC material to help you get the best score possible on the MCAT. Some people think you should save it all until the end, some people think you should do it at the beginning of your studying, etc. That means it’s the best practice material you’ll find (by a long shot).īut you’ll hear a lot of different opinions on when and how you should use it. And it’s all put out by the actual test-maker, so it more closely resembles the real test than anything else that’s available. There are practice tests, question banks, etc.

If you don’t know yet what the AAMC material is for the MCAT, it’s the official practice material for the MCAT put out by the company that makes the test, the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges).
