Use of Personal Information
When you take the AAMC PREview exam, you agree to the use and release of your personal information as described below.
The AAMC will use your personal information — including collecting, storing, and processing it — in accordance with the AAMC Website Terms and Conditions, the AAMC Privacy Statement, the AAMC Policies Regarding the Collection, Use, and Dissemination of Medical Student and Applicant Data, and any specific terms described herein. You agree to the transfer of your personal information to the AAMC and its delivery administrator, Meazure Learning, in the United States, to those medical schools (wherever located) that you select through the exam registration system or through the AMCAS application in future years, and to other third parties as stated in these policies. Once your personal information has been transferred to a third party, the information is subject to that party’s policies.
Personal information collected, stored, and processed during your AAMC PREview exam experience includes:
- Personal information collected during registration, including your name, email address, phone number, gender, race and ethnicity, country of citizenship and residence, undergraduate institution, and language background
- Identity information collected at the start of the exam
- Exam response information
- Biometrics collected in support of remote proctoring, including your ID, video and audio recording of your exam session, video of you and your exam environment, and keystroke measurements taken during your exam
- Exam grading and score data related to your exam performance
Any information published by the AAMC related to the AAMC PREview exam will use aggregate data. Individual test scores are not published or released to third parties unless permitted by the AAMC Privacy Statement, meaning appropriate confidentiality and limitation of use obligations are in effect or otherwise authorized by you.
Health Professions Advisor Release
Selecting “Yes” to the Health Professions Advisor Release when you register for the exam authorizes the AAMC to release a record of your PREview scores to your school’s designated, AAMC-approved health professions advisor who has met the AAMC-established requirements and confidentiality protocols. The Health Professions Advisor Release is voluntary.
Furthermore, if you applied for fee assistance through the AAMC Fee Assistance Program, and in your fee assistance application you agreed to release award information to your health professions advisor, that information will be made available along with your test scores. If you indicated in your AMCAS application that you would like your application released to your health professions advisor, the released AMCAS information will include your PREview scores regardless of your answer to this question.
If an undergraduate institution does not have a designated health professions advisor or has not identified the advisor to the AAMC, the AAMC cannot release your scores to the institution.
