![]() Not only are there more subjects to review before the exam, but the testing duration was almost doubled, from 200 minutes for the previous version of MCAT to 375 minutes for the new version of MCAT. 3 These changes bring new challenges for examinees. In April 2015, the AAMC launched a new version of the MCAT, which incorporates even more natural and social science subjects such as biochemistry, psychology, and sociology. 2 There have been several versions of this exam since then. To do so, it has been designed to include a wide range of questions since the very beginning when the MCAT was administered in the 1920s. The MCAT aims to measure readiness for medical school. KU’s premedical post-baccalaureate was instituted 1 year earlier to the launch of the MD program to prepare students for the MCAT exam and potential entry into the inaugural MD class of 2019. An admissible MCAT score is thus required to enter KU’s Doctor of Medicine (MD) program for students in this region. ![]() In 2019, Khalifa University of Science and Technology (KU) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) took the initiative to introduce US-style medical education in the nation by establishing the College of Medicine and Health Sciences (CMHS). It has been widely used as one of the requirements for medical school admission in North America, as well as many other countries. The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a standardized, multiple-choice examination administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
