Is Taking MCAT Practice Tests Helpful
before Taking the Actual MCAT?:
Perceptions of Minority and Disadvantaged Students

Paul Henry, Ph.D.

Summary – This study was designed to examine the perceptions of underrepresented minorities and disadvantaged students regarding the extent to which taking several mock MCAT Practice Tests was helpful before taking the actual MCAT.  The research suggests it was helpful for developing and refining their test-taking skills.  Ninety-two students were chosen as participants.   The results showed a high degree of agreement that the mock tests were helpful.  The satisfaction level was lowest for the Verbal Reasoning portion of the exam.  The article includes several anecdotal comments from the students.
