Practicing Writing Essays for the MCAT and PCAT

MCAT: Practice MCAT WS topics are available through e-mcat for free, although you will have to register in order to get access to them. Essay topics can come from several categories, including government, education, and ethics. You do not need to have any outside or technical information in order to answer the essays, and you will not be asked to write about the science concepts that you are being tested on during the multiple choice portions of the exam.

PCAT: PCAT essay topics can either be argumentative topics or problem-solving topics. I found two practice PCAT writing topics on the PCAT website that are given as part of the sample PCAT questions PDF. PCAT students can also use the sample MCAT essay topics at the AAMC e-mcat website for further essay-writing practice.
