生物係統的化學和物理基礎。

Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.

批判性分析和推理能力

Psychological, Social and Biological Foundations of Behavior.

以上的四個(ge) 部分中的三個(ge) 部分側(ce) 重於(yu) 自然科學和社會(hui) 科學，並以醫學預科課程中的課程為(wei) 基礎。相比之下，MCAT的批判性分析和推理能力部分不以科學為(wei) 導向，不需要背景知識，目的為(wei) 測試閱讀理解能力。

The MCAT lasts 7 1/2 hours, including 6 hours and 15 minutes of time spent on the exam, 50 minutes devoted to breaks and 25 minutes assigned to logistical tasks at the beginning or end of the test.
