MCAT for MBA

Can you tell me if a MBA (Master in Business Administration) degree holder can apply for Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) as I want to do so, please help me with this?

As per my knowledge, you cannot apply for Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) being a MBA (Master in Business Administration) degree holder as one who wants to apply to health professional institutes can take the MCAT.

But, if one is not applying to a health professions school, or currently enrolled as a medical student other than MBBS, then need to obtain “special permission” to register for the exam.

If one hold an MBBS degree is in an MBBS program may register for the MCAT exam without seeking special permission.

Exam Pattern:
With a total duration of 5 hours 10 minutes (approx), the MCAT exam consists of four sections. They are:
Physical Sciences
Verbal Reasoning
Biological Sciences
Trial Section
