How many questions are on the MCAT and how long is the test?

Answer 1

Hey there!

There are 230 total questions on the current MCAT.

The total time is 7.5 hours, but this includes breaks and tutorials etc, so the actual testing time is 6.25 hours.

There are are four sections on the MCAT, containing 10 passages and 15 discrete (standalone questions) each, with the exception of the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills section (CARS), which has 9 passages.

You are allotted 95 minutes for each of the four sections, except for CARS, for which you are given 90 minutes.
