New test is being piloted starting Jan 2013. Piloting will continue throughout 2013-2014. MCAT test takers in 2013-14 are being asked/strong armed into taking one of the new sample sections [human behavior, biochem] when they sit for their MCAT.

The new scoring system will be announced when the new exam goes into effect in Jan 2015. Rumors say the new scale may be 5-100 with each subsection worth 25 points instead of the current 15.

And the BIG change will be the incorporation of a section on human behavior which will include topics from psych, soc, medical ethics and possibly anthropology.

So more science AND more social science.
