Practice the reasoning behind the answer

Science questions span concepts and principles, problem-solving, research design, and reasoning from data. That includes interpreting experiments, selecting controls, working with equations, and judging what a table or graph supports. These are the four skill families in the AAMC content outline. Our bank also covers its 31 science content categories; a daily question is one part of a broader study plan.

CARS days ask you to understand an argument, connect ideas within a passage, or apply its reasoning to a new situation. The original passages are 500–600 words, with a mix of humanities and social sciences. All the evidence needed for the answer is in the passage and question, following the AAMC CARS framework.

Choose an answer, then select Finish to review and check it. Compare your reasoning with the explanation and identify what makes each distractor tempting. On calculation questions, check units and estimates as well as the final number. The practice is untimed, so take the time you need to understand the result.

A familiar exam workspace

Use Expand exam to fill your screen with the passage and answer panes. Highlight in yellow or blue, cross out distracting choices, and flag the question before reviewing. Adjust contrast or text size from the toolbar; Chem/Phys and Bio/Biochem days also include a periodic table. The elapsed clock helps you notice your pace without imposing a limit. AAMC documents its exam display tools and provides the official exam-features tutorial for practice with the actual software.

Frequently Asked Questions

One question appears each day. The 365-question bank rotates through Chem/Phys, CARS, Bio/Biochem, and Psych/Soc. The MCAT hub and this page show the same question.

The shared daily question changes at midnight UTC. Each question appears once in a continuous 365-day cycle, then the cycle repeats. The schedule continues through leap days and does not restart on January 1.

These are original Test Ninjas practice questions and passages, independently authored around the AAMC content framework. They are not official AAMC exam questions. Scientific explanations include sources for further reading.

The bank includes passage-based and standalone science questions, plus passage-based CARS questions. It covers all four scientific inquiry and reasoning skills and all three CARS reasoning skills over the year. Every question has four answer choices and one best answer.

This feature displays today’s question only. Your current answer is saved in this browser, so you can revisit its explanation during the day. There is no account requirement or past-day archive.

CARS questions include full original passages of 500–600 words. Science passage questions include substantial scenarios, sometimes with tables or graphs. Give yourself enough time to read carefully and review the reasoning; the daily question is untimed.

The workspace has separate passage and question panes, yellow and blue highlighting, strikethrough, flagging, a review screen, contrast settings, text zoom, and an expanded focus view. Chem/Phys and Bio/Biochem include a periodic table. This daily session contains one untimed question; AAMC’s official tutorial demonstrates the actual exam software.
