MCAT Tips for Canadian Students:

• Timing – Canadian students should consider taking the MCAT in the summer after second year of university! Most of the science tested on the MCAT is covered in first year undergraduate courses in Canadian universities. Students will also want to have the option of repeating the MCAT in the summer after third year should they need to attempt the test again before applying to Canadian medical schools.

• Commitment – On average, a Canadian pre-med student will prepare 300 hours for the MCAT! It’s best to think of preparing for the MCAT as having a part-time job over the summer. You should expect to commit 20-30 hours per week if you want to achieve your score goals!

• Start With A Practice Test – It is recommended that any Canadian student preparing for start their preparation by taking a practice MCAT. This will provide students with a baseline score that can help them determine how far they are from their score goal. A practice test can also help students determine their strengths and weaknesses. The Princeton Review offers students an opportunity to take a Mock MCAT on campus every March and November. To view upcoming practice test dates on your campus, visit us at www.princetonreview.com/mcat or www.tinyurl.com/TPRMockMCAT. You can also take a free practice test online at www.princetonreview.com.

• Register Early – Summer is overwhelmingly the most popular time to take the MCAT in Canada. Students should be aware that registration for summer MCAT test dates typically opens in February. Students should visit AAMC’s website at www.aamc.org/mcat to register for their test date as soon as registration opens in February.

• Repeating the MCAT – Nearly half of all Canadian MCAT test takers take the MCAT more than once. While Canadian medical schools will see all of your MCAT scores when you apply, they typically will only consider your highest or most recent score. So there really isn’t any negative consequence to taking the test more than once, except for the additional test registration fee and study time!
