Free MCAT Exam Prep Offered Saturday at UM

Practice run of medical school admissions test begins at 8 a.m. in Holman Hall

OXFORD, Miss. – A full practice MCAT examination is being offered for free Saturday (March 24) at the University of Mississippi.

The event, which begins at 8 a.m. in Holman Hall, Room 30, is being sponsored by Altius Testing Prep through the university’s Health Professions Advising Office.

“The MCAT is the entry test into medical school and can cost up to $315,” said Sovent Taylor, assistant director of the office. “This is a huge opportunity for our students. Altius will provide the proctors.”

All students taking the exam should meet in Holman for a group briefing before being split up and sent to computer labs in Weir and Connor Halls. There, they will check in.

“The check-in process will include fingerprinting and registration of login information, just like the actual test,” Taylor said. “The test will last a duration of up to 7-1/2 hours. Students will get the full experience of how the MCAT is done.”

UM is the first university in the state with a full-service Health Professions Advising Office. Ole Miss is also the first in Mississippi to offer the free MCAT exam preparation for students.
