The AAMC is committed to ensuring the accuracy and validity of PREview scores and to providing fair and secure testing conditions for all examinees. To fulfill this commitment, examinees must adhere to a set of common procedures.
The Examinee Agreement is a legally binding contract between you and the AAMC that sets forth the terms and conditions under which the AAMC will permit you to register for and take the PREview exam. In addition to the prohibitions and terms explained below, all of the policies and procedures contained in the current version of The AAMC PREview® Essentials are expressly incorporated herein as additional terms of the Examinee Agreement, as well as the AAMC Website Terms and Conditions, the AAMC Privacy Statement, and any policy statements made on the PREview website. Adherence to the Examinee Agreement is necessary to enable the AAMC to maintain a fair and secure testing process for all examinees.
Because the Examinee Agreement is a legally binding contract, you should read it carefully. If you do not indicate that you understand and agree to abide by the terms of the PREview Essentials, including the Examinee Agreement, you will not be able to register for or take the PREview exam. On test day, you will be presented with the Examinee Agreement. By selecting “Agree” at the end of the Examinee Agreement, you will be certifying that you understand and agree to comply with these obligations. You will not be able to proceed with the exam if you do not agree.
Additionally, you will be required to agree to Meazure Learning Terms of Service when you log into the Meazure exam platform.
