The AAMC and participating medical schools are working together to evaluate the AAMC PREview exam. Information about these schools and the AMCAS 2023 cycle will be announced as soon as it is available. Applicants will be strongly encouraged or required to complete the exam on one of the 2022 exam dates. If scores are ultimately shown to enhance the schools’ holistic review process, the schools may consider them as one part of their admission decisions.
The exam will be offered in five testing windows across 10 dates. Appointments will be available throughout each test day beginning at 8 a.m. Eastern Time. Your appointment time will be shown in your local, military time.

Rescheduling or Cancelling Exam Appointments
You may reschedule your exam appointment, subject to deadlines associated with your current exam date, by selecting the reschedule option available next to your scheduled appointment date. Registration for a given test window closes approximately one month before the first test date in that window. If you reschedule prior to the registration deadline associated with your current appointment, you may reschedule into the same or later window if appointments are available. You may also reschedule after your current appointment’s registration deadline and no later than 24 hours prior to your current appointment, but you will only be able to schedule a new date in a future window if appointments are available. Deadlines for each window are outlined in the table below.

Supporting documentation includes any hospital records, official requests for deployment or jury duty, funeral program or death certification, and/or proof of displacement. The AAMC will review requests until Sept. 30, one week after the last test date of Window 5.
