MCAT verbal section?

Is the verbal and the essay sections of the MCAT similar to the ones on the SAT and ACT?

Absolutely not. Are you kidding? This is not a test designed for everybody. It's designed for people going into medical school. The verbal section assesses your ability to understand and evaluate information from written passages and the writing section has you respond to two medicine related prompts. This test is much much harder than the SAT and ACT. And the questions are much more specific.

Yeah most definately not!!! I just bought some ExamKracker Verbal books because the 101 passages book is a very good estimate of what the MCAT will look like.
