Free MCAT resources: what the AAMC gives you for nothing
The AAMC offers two full-length MCAT practice tests free: the Unscored Sample Test and the scored Practice Exam 1. Both look and work like the real exam and explain every answer. Its other five practice exams cost $35 each, and fee-assistance recipients get official prep products free.
