Feb 29, 2012 - By 2015, the MCAT will have a new section entitled “Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior,” a “Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills” section and two natural science sections, according to an AAMC press release.

Nov 3, 2013 - The Kaplan press release also reviews some of the changes to the new 2015 MCAT. I wrote about the MCAT back in October, where I attempted to defuse my fear surrounding the test by referring to it as an actual cat. Kirch, M.D., said in an interview for aamc.org that psychological behavior and sociology classes will become more important to students who will take the MCAT in three years. Mar 21, 2012 - Major changes to the Medical College Admission Test won't come until 2015, but UCF students who plan to pursue a career in medicine may need to begin preparing for the new test now.

Notable among the proposed changes to the MCAT content and format are adding sociology and psychology sections, testing behavioral and social sciences principles, as well as critical analysis and reasoning skills. Feb 3, 2014 - I spent around 2 months on content review; this was pretty straight forward all you have to do is navigate to the AAMC website and get their “syllabus” of testable material. In order to be prepared you need to understand the exam and start planning for it now, and this guide is the first step. This is John from Next Step Test Preparation and I am here with my colleague Bryan Schnedeker and we are going to chat for about 15 – 20 minutes about the 2015 MCAT changes.
