Update on Minor Interface Changes to MCAT Practice Resources The MCAT Practice Exams and the Practice with Exam Features tool have reverted to the 2023 testing year interface of the MCAT exam. As we shared in the last Examinee Update, the minor interface updates to the MCAT exam are still in development and will not be implemented in 2024.
