She then continued her education to earn a Masters and PhD in clinical psychology from Bowling Green State University, where she had a dual specialization in behavioral medicine and psychology of religion. She completed internship through fellowship at Duke University Medical Center, where she focused on medical psychology. She has also completed a post-doctoral MS degree in psychopharmacology. Dr. Wachholtz has multiple funded research projects with her primary focus on (1) bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of chronic pain disorders and (2) the complexities of treating of comorbid pain and opioid addiction in both acute pain and chronic pain situations. She enjoys teaching students from a variety of health disciplines, both in the classroom and on the clinical floors of UMass Memorial Medical Center Hospitals.

Jennifer M. Warner, PhD, is the Director of the University Honors Program and a member of the faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She received her BS in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, her MS in Biology with a focus in microbiology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and her PhD in Curriculum and Teaching from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her current research interests revolve around variables that influence student success and retention in the sciences. She currently teaches a variety of courses including principles of biology, human biology, the nature of science, and pathogenic bacteriology.

Kathy A. Zahler, MS, is a widely published author and textbook writer. She has authored or coauthored numerous McGraw-Hill Education preparation guides for tests, including the GRE, the Miller Analogies Test, the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS), and the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC).

T he Practice Tests in this volume are designed to help you determine your readiness to take the actual MCAT. Each test has four separately timed sections as shown in the chart.

The questions are designed to match the real exam as closely as possible in format and degree of difficulty. If you approach these tests as you would the real exam, your results will give you a good idea of how well you would score if you took the real MCAT today.

Each test is followed by complete explanations for every question. Study the explanations carefully, particularly for questions that you missed or that you found difficult.

Following each set of explanations is an Evaluation Chart. Use it to measure your test-taking readiness and to pinpoint content areas that you may need to review again before taking the real exam.
