Good luck with it DoNoHarm 
. We've got a similar exam here in Australia except that it's not computer based. It turns out to be quite a fun day. Especially if you are well prepared. Even more so in retrospect if you do well enough for med school acceptance .

I know quite a few people from the US and Canadia that have done this. Some of them are really nice
. WA would be really nice..edit: just checked and you might be OK with just MCAT depending on the university. You should check out WA if that's where you are interested in going

I'm not sure. You'd have to check with the testing organisation (gamsat.edu.au.) You might have to do our test (GAMSAT). I'm not sure if they do a reciprocal agreement with MCAT results

So you're telling me medical schools in Australia only look at MCAT scores for North American students? They disregard your academic record, work experience, extracurriculars, letters of recommendations, interviews, etc.?
What?
I better do well on this thing.
My academic record & other things are strong but I've never taken Physics before (studying it now on my own while I do psych research and work), so I'm scared.So you're telling me medical schools in Australia only look at MCAT scores for North American students?

I think he's saying that just like here, every school has their own method to their maddness. Some schools may look at an MCAT percentile instead of the Australian equivalent. I don't think those schools will disregard your academic record, work experience, extracurriculars, letters of recommendations, interviews, etc. however....
Ah, the MCAT. Seems like so long ago now.
Do many practice problems. It always helps.
Good luck! It isn't as bad as it seems like it is before you take it. Afterwords, it is the biggest relief in the world to have it over and done with.
Best wishes!
