I have one of these (EE PE) but large numbers of engineers do not. In fact, I just got it seven years ago and worked for 20 years without one.</p>
<p>Most civil engineers probably have these licenses. I suspect licensed engineers may be more careful because they have to put their stamp on their work, in effect taking responsibility for that work. I don’t know.</p>
<p>THe current exam is fairly rudimentary IMO. They stress that it is a test of “minimum competence” to practice engineering. You also need work experience, education, and recommendations. I’m not sure if they actually store score information for all examinees anywhere. Most states (with a couple exceptions) only give “Pass or Fail” results.</p>
<p>But, I will add that although I know statsitics are stiatistics, I can’t see how the current MCAT predicts anything specific about medical knowledge or ability. Ability to learn medicine, sure, I’ll grant that (given I don’t know anything about medicine or medical school). </p>
<p>I went to the AAMC site and took their free practice MCAT.I’m assuming the free sample is somewhat representative of actual exam content. You need a certain level of general knowledge about biological and physical sciences, and a certain verbal skill to do well. Plus a good general intelligence level (or at least skill in MC exams). But I don’t think you really need to know anything about medicine per se.</p>
