For Students:

Today is the last day to register for the August MCAT.  The registration system for the paper test closes at 6:00 pm Eastern Time and for the computerized test, at midnight, Eastern Time.  Please be sure you have COMPLETED your registration by then.  It is impossible for the AAMC to register you after that time, so there's no point even asking.

The computerized version of the MCAT has proven very popular this August, with over 3500 students choosing it.  While it will have the same number of questions and scores will return no faster than the paper test, students like the fact that the test day is generally shorter, they can type their Writing Sample, and don't have to mess with bubbling in answers.  Scores will be posted about 60 days after the test.

Registration for the early 2007 MCATs, all of which will be computerized, should open on November 14.  A list of current Thomson Prometric test sites delivering the MCAT is shown on www.aamc.org/mcat and will be updated as additional sites are added.

We appreciate your continuing support of the MCAT and your assistance in getting accurate, timely information to your advisees.
