Court overturns prior MCAT decision

$s

An appeals court ruled that California students with learning disabilities will not receive extra time on the MCAT, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported.

Students with disabilities such as dyslexia won a chance to spend extra time on the test in 2004 through a court challenge. Now the test, which is required for entrance to almost every medical school in the nation, will use only one nationwide standard for all students, the Chronicle reported.
