Registration for the 2016 testing calendar is just around the corner!



As a reminder, registration will open on:



  *   October 21, 2015—for January-May dates

  *   February 2016—for June-September dates (Specific details will be available at a later date)



Registering for the MCAT exam is easy, but remember there are things you can do in advance to make sure you are prepared and ready to register on opening day.



  1.  Read your MCAT Essentials<http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/72432438:TzewYzyNb:m:1:2692870743:B52749E698E02123C1EA30D2F17BFED4:r>! The official policy and procedure document for the exam, the MCAT Essentials outlines important information about registration, test-day policies, scoring details, and more. Reading this before you register and take your exam will help you feel more prepared. Plus it is required reading!

  2.  Create your AAMC ID now to speed your registration process. If you've signed into the AAMC website in the past, such as to purchase an MCAT product, you already have an AAMC ID. If not, take a moment now to set-up a user name and password with the AAMC, which will generate an ID number for you. Simply go onto the MCAT Scheduling and Registration System<http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/72432439:TzewYzyNb:m:1:2692870743:B52749E698E02123C1EA30D2F17BFED4:r> and follow the link to create an AAMC ID. If you already have an AAMC ID, login to make sure you remember your password. If you have forgotten it, reset your password now. As a reminder, the Scheduling and Registration System is currently in maintenance mode, so you won't be able to access the system before October 21.

  3.  Have your government-issued ID ready. Keep your ID (such as a Driver's License or Passport) that you plan to bring with you on test day in front of you as you register. This is so that you can enter your name (first and last name) into the registration system EXACTLY as it appears on your ID. Also, be sure to make sure that your ID is valid<http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/72432440:TzewYzyNb:m:1:2692870743:B52749E698E02123C1EA30D2F17BFED4:r> for test day!

  4.  Print a copy of the schedule<http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/72432441:TzewYzyNb:m:1:2692870743:B52749E698E02123C1EA30D2F17BFED4:r> of dates. While we hope that everyone can test on their preferred exam date, there are dates that are sometimes more popular than others. Be sure to have alternative dates in mind that would also work for you in the event that your first choice is unavailable.

  5.  Have your Visa or MasterCard at the ready. Once you have selected your preferred test date and location, be sure you are ready to pay the registration fee when prompted. Your seat is not confirmed until your payment is submitted!



We will announce when registration is officially opened on October 21. Please note, registration will not open at midnight Eastern Standard Time! Be sure to follow @AAMC_MCAT on Twitter for updates, announcements, and information.



Good luck on registration day!
