A prompt consists of a topic sentence and instructions for three writing tasks you are to complete within the essay. The first task will always ask you to explain the given statement; the other two tasks will vary with each prompt.
Your essays will be judged on how well they develop a central idea, how well they combine multiple, complex ideas together, how clearly written they are, and how well they adhere to standard rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage. You will receive scaled scores for each section. Each essay in the Writing Sample section is scored by two different readers, each of which assigns it a score from 1 to 6. The total raw score is then converted to a scaled score, which is a letter from J to T.
You will be able to get your score report approximately 30 days after you complete the MCAT exam. Many of the passages will center on some sort of social commentary, debate, or opinion.
