Then there’s the MCAT…very stressful, very long exam…need to do very well.
Then there are the STEP exams…very stressful, VERY long exams…need to do well on those.
@mom2collegekids, your comment made me wonder – are extended time accommodations available for individuals who take the MCAT?

@GnocchiB I just saw this.
I don’t know for sure, but I highly doubt that there are extended times. Those tests are already VERY long. I can’t imagine that someone who “needs more time” would do better on a test that is already VERY long.
The MCAT has a seating time of 7 hours and 30 minutes. Adding more time to that, say 20% more time, would stretch the seating time to 9 hours. I would think that it just too long.
STEP I exam is also an all-day exam. Really, someone who is a poor-test-taker really needs to avoid careers that require scoring well on standardized tests or licensing exams.
