The AAMC PREview exam is administered through a secure online testing environment. This online environment allows you to choose your own location and use your computer equipment, as long as your workspace and computer meet the specified technical and security requirements described below.
The AAMC has engaged a third-party vendor, Meazure Learning, to deliver your AAMC PREview exam and capture and transmit your exam responses. By logging in through the PREview Portal, you will register for an appointment and take your exam through the Meazure Exam Platform, and Meazure Learning will secure and proctor your exam using the ProctorU Exam Platform. You will receive emails about your exam from both the AAMC and Meazure Learning.
Technical and Equipment Requirements
The detailed technical requirements for your desktop or laptop of your choice are available on the PREview website. You can also test your equipment ahead of your appointment.
Failure to meet the technical requirements may result in the inability to start or complete your exam. If you are unable to take your exam because your equipment does not meet the current technical requirements, you must reschedule or cancel your exam by the deadline associated with your exam appointment. If you are then unable to start or complete your exam because your equipment does not meet requirements, you will not be eligible for a refund.
You may not take your exam on a phone or tablet. If you intend to take the exam using shared equipment at your university or workplace, or any equipment or network that is not your own, you may have firewalls or other restrictions that may prevent you from accessing the required security features. You will need administrator rights to access the exam. Please contact your university or employer system administrator for assistance.
Additional equipment requirements may be found on the Meazure Equipment Requirements webpage.
Workstation and Environmental Requirements
You may not leave your workstation once your exam has begun, except as an approved accommodation.
You and your workspace must be:
- Completely free of all prohibited materials and electronics other than your desktop or laptop. Any notes or writing of any kind on your desk, walls, whiteboards, etc., should be removed.
- All prohibited items that cannot be physically removed from the workspace must be covered by a sheet, blanket, or paper. Using a hard surface for a workspace is required; beds or couches are not permitted.
- No other person may be in the workspace or be able to observe your workspace through windows, glass walls or doors, or by any other means while you are taking the exam.
Please refer to the detailed requirements and guidance on preparing your workspace, which are available on the PREview website. If your workspace does not meet the requirements, the proctor may decline to start your exam or may terminate your exam after it begins. If you need more time to locate or prepare a workspace that meets the requirements, then be sure to reschedule or cancel by the deadline associated with your exam appointment. If you are not permitted to start the exam or your exam is terminated after starting it because your workspace does not meet the requirements, you will not be eligible for a refund.
