The MICAT exam has three parts, and each part has its own rules for marking. There’s no penalty for wrong answers in the first two sections. But in the third section, if you get an answer wrong, you lose a quarter of a mark. So, it’s best to only answer questions in the third part if you’re sure of the answer. Guessing might lower your overall score.
