Testing & Preparation

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, PCAT .

Prepare & Practice

To ensure that students are best prepared for entrance exams, many will elect to supplement their Wash U 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.

They are working to reevaluate and reimagine the program to meet the educational and financial needs of the WashU student. We understand that this may cause great inconvenience to some students and we are deeply sorry. The Learning Center is thinking about alternative ways to support students preparing for MCAT in the meantime. Please email learningcenter@wustl.edu with additional questions.
