<p>Why is it so high compared to the SAT which far more people take? Is it because it's computer-based?</p>
<p>Well for the SAT...you could either take the ACT or get a GED. Plus some schools don't require the SAT or the ACT (I can only think of 1 {Whitworth}).</p>
<p>The MCAT is required for all med schools and it is the only test.</p>
<p>Since it turned comp based (this year, I think), the number of tests has been higher. Before there used to be two, in April and August, I think.</p>
