a voluntary, unscored trial section will be added starting in January 2013.

I do not understand this: Unless the test takers are not informed of the section which is a trial one and is unscored, who would volunteer to answer the questions on the unscored trial sections when the test is already longer than the typical test at school? As a preparation (just the endurance part, not the content itself) for the even more grueling STEP-1 test in med school?

On the current MCAT test, many test takers likely do not pay as much attention to the writing section as that on other sections that really count (count much more at least).
