It is your responsibility to determine whether and when you should take the PREview exam. A growing number of medical schools and other health professions programs require or recommend applicants submit situational judgement test scores.
Many, but not all, medical schools and some other health professions programs use PREview scores. Those that use PREview scores may participate in one of the following ways:
- Requiring a PREview score — your application is not complete until you have provided a PREview score.
- Recommending a PREview score — the school is requesting your score but may review your application with or without a PREview score.
- Requiring a situational judgment test — your application is complete when you have submitted a score from a situational judgment test, and the PREview exam will satisfy this requirement.
- Exploring PREview scores for future use — the school is requesting your score so that they may evaluate the use of PREview scores as a requirement or recommendation for a future application year. The school will not use your score to make an admission decision in the 2025/2026 application cycle.
Information about participating schools is available on the PREview website, which is updated frequently as schools and programs notify the AAMC of their participation. Other resources for medical school participation include the Medical School Application Requirements™ (MSAR®) and the American Medical College Application Service® (AMCAS®).
