Discussion of the MCAT Exam

Estimated Read time: 1 minute

The AAMC developed guidelines to help you understand the prohibition on disclosure of exam content and how you may appropriately share your exam experience.

What is permitted:

  • Commenting on your general exam experience, such as test center conditions or how you felt about a particular test section.
  • Describing the exam with the same level of detail as in the What's on the MCAT Exam? content outline.

What is not permitted:

  • Describing in more specific detail than in the What's on the MCAT Exam? content outline: exam questions, passages, graphics, incorrect responses, correct answers, topic lists, and frequency and order of exam topics.
  • Outlining the steps or process to answer a question.
  • Speculating about which questions are field-test or experimental questions.
  • Assisting anyone else in doing any of the above.

While you may read or hear other guidelines inconsistent with these statements, keep in mind that the information contained herein, and in the binding MCAT Examinee Agreement, is directly from the AAMC. By following these guidelines, it is possible to share your MCAT experience without committing a violation.
