The tests measure your skill within a certain area, gauging preciselt where your strengths adn weaknesses lay. The tests are intended to illustrage the jobs that correlate with your strenghts and interests. They are not meant as a definate ruling.

In order to work in most professions, you will need to recieve some kind of certification. This group's job is to find materials to help students prepare for major exams. There will be different things you do to prepare for the different exams, so be sure to organize them below accordingly.

=PLACEMENT = ==Placements is where a student is enrolled in the appropriate level classes such as English, World Language, Math, etc. Courses involve placement process that helps educaters determine the best courses to meet a student's individual skill. The level should be a little challenging, so that you can excel. Different individuals need different testing to determin their placement. ==

 =How It Works =

Placement tests are unually not timed but there are some exceptions.
==The exam is offered 25 or more times per year at [|Prometric] centers.[|[4]] The number of administrations may vary each year. Most people who take the MCAT are undergraduates in college in their Junior or Senior year of college before they apply to medical school. Ever since the exam's duration was shortened to 4.5–5 hours, the test may be offered either in the morning or in the afternoon. Some test dates have both morning and afternoon administrations. == ==The test consists of four sections, listed in the order in which they are administered on the day of the exam: == ==The sections above are in multiple-choice format except for the Writing sample, which consists of two short essays that are typed. The passages and questions are set before the test. They do not change in difficulty depending on the performance of the test taker (unlike, for example, the [|Graduate Record Examination]). == ==The Physical Sciences section assesses problem-solving ability in general chemistry and physics and the Biological Sciences section evaluates these abilities in the areas of biology and organic chemistry. The Verbal Reasoning section evaluates the ability to understand, evaluate, and apply information and arguments presented in prose style. The Biological Sciences section most directly relates to success on the United States Medical Licensing Examination. ==
 * ==A completed ECC application is needed for the tester on file prior to testing- Bring your photo ID, ECC ID #, a pencil (a calculator might be needed if taking a math placement test) ==
 * ==About three hours is given to take all three of the tests (reading, essay writing and math). [|More»] ==

==<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">The Physical Sciences section is administered first (prior to the April 2003 MCAT, Verbal Reasoning was the first section of the exam). It is composed of 52 multiple-choice questions related to general chemistry and physics. Exam takers are allotted 70 minutes to complete this section of the exam. == ==<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">The Verbal Reasoning section follows the Physical Sciences section and an optional 10 minute break. Exam takers have 60 minutes to answer 40 multiple-choice questions evaluating their comprehension, evaluation, and application of information gathered from written passages. Unlike the Physical and Biological Sciences sections, the Verbal Reasoning section is not supposed to require specific content knowledge in order to perform well. == ==<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">Prior to the computerization of the MCAT there was a 60 minute lunch break after the Verbal Reasoning section followed by the Writing Sample. With the new Computer-Based Testing format the 60 minute lunch break has been substituted by an optional 10 minute break. The Writing Sample gives examinees 60 minutes to compose responses to two prompts (30 minutes for each prompt, separately timed), the prompts are predetermined and there are only two prompts to choose from. Each essay is graded on a scale of 1 to 6 points twice. The scores from individual essays are added together and then converted to a letter scale of J, the lowest, through T, the highest. == ==<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">After the Writing Samples, there is an optional 10 minute break followed by the Biological Sciences section. Examinees have 70 minutes to answer 52 multiple-choice questions related to organic chemistry and biology. ==
