A Mock MCA Twas developed and administered to 39 premedical students two weeks
prior to the April 1977 administration of
the New MCAT. Mock MCAT results
were provided to these studentsfor each of
the six areas of the actual MCA T. Twenty-seven examinees also took the real MCAT.
Correlation coefficients between real and
Mock MCA T scores were obtained and
stepwise regression analysis was used to
determine the extent to which the Mock
MCA T could predict real MCA T scores.
Correlations of .85, .76, .74, .81, .82, and
.81 were obtained for biology, chemistry,
physics, science problems, reading, and
quantitative areas, respectively.
