How to Proctor an MCAT Practice Exam Online
The real MCAT only runs at AAMC-authorized test centers, in person. Pre-med advising offices and review courses running full-length practice exams need remote proctoring to build trustworthy readiness data. Set up AI proctoring in under 5 minutes.
The MCAT covers four sections - 230 total questions - across 6 hours 15 minutes of content time, roughly 7.5 hours seated with breaks. Review courses delivering full-length practice exams remotely need proctoring so scores predict real test-day performance.
