Exam Content

WashU Coursework is not designed specifically for materials covered in preprofessional entrance exams. As such, there might be topics/content included in examinations not covered in your science classes. For more information on exam content, please consult the organization that designs and administers their specific test.

Exam Topics: MCAT, DAT, GRE, PA-CAT

 

Prepare & Practice

To ensure that students are best prepared for entrance exams, many will elect to supplement their WashU coursework with additional summer or evening science classes, take exam-specific review courses, purchase preparatory materials (ex: question banks, practice tests), and/or enroll in a post-baccalaureate program. Feel free to consult with a prehealth advisor for undertaking additional preparations and practice.
