MCAT question: are you allowed to bring a calculator? (website doesn’t say)?

The site said you should bring some valid ID and a watch; pencils, paper and a timer will be provided…. But some of the questions, particularly the chem/physics sections, could be benefited from a calculator. I just read the MCAT essentials and it didn’t say whether you can bring one. Anyone who’s taken the new electronic MCAT please let me know! Thanks!

gahhhh I’m taking the MCAT tomorrow…. wish me luck lol

No, definitely no calculator. Gluck, I am taking mine on 16th. Don’t forget to take a snack to keep ur brain supplied with energy during the test. Hope you do awesome, I know I am shaking in my boots!

You are not allowed to use a calculator on the MCAT. Pencils, paper, and noise canceling ear covers are provided when you arrive – you can take an unopened package of earplugs, but that’s all. Other than your ID, you are not allowed to take anything into the testing center with you. Dress in layers, and eat a good breakfast before hand, because once you’re in the room, you won’t be leaving until you have completed the exam. Get a study book with lots of practice problems, and set aside a day to do a practice test at least a month before you take the exam (you can order practice tests from the same website you register on). Once you begin working the practice problems, you’ll see that you don’t really need a calculator – you can do most problems on scratch paper or by using logic to eliminate answers (this is where the multiple choice aspect of the exam really works in your favor).
