Total session time may vary due to the required technology check for remote-proctored, online exams. You may shorten the time needed by ensuring before your exam check in that your workspace is clear of prohibited materials, your technology meets all the required specifications, and your applications and programs are all closed.
Appointment Time
It is recommended that you log in to your exam session 15 minutes prior to your exam time to test your equipment again and to make sure you are ready.
Before Your Appointment Time
|
Step |
Action |
|---|---|
|
Step 1 |
Install the Guardian Secure Browser if you have not done so already. |
|
Step 2 |
Log in and test your equipment one last time. Optional: View the tutorial one last time before beginning your exam. |
|
Step 3 |
Have your government issued ID ready to show the proctor. Remember, it must be a physical copy. Digital IDs and renewal paperwork is not accepted. |
|
Step 4 |
Check your appointment confirmation for instructions on how to log in to your appointment. |
At Your Appointment Time
|
Step |
Action |
|---|---|
|
Step 5 |
Log in to the PREview Portal. Select “Write Exam” to begin the check-in process. The online proctor will be there to guide you as needed through system requirements, identification authentication, exam rules, and the process of securing your testing environment. You must log in to your session on time. Late arrival may result in your exam being marked as a “no-show.” If you have trouble connecting to your session, or if you wait for more than 5 minutes for a proctor, please click the “Support” section in the upper left-hand corner of the screen to be connected to support via chat. |
|
Step 6 |
Upon successful completion of Step 5, the proctor will grant you access to the exam. |
|
Step 7 |
Agree to the AAMC Examinee Agreement and Meazure Learning Terms and Conditions. |
|
Step 8 |
Complete the exam. You will have 75 minutes. |
|
Step 9 |
If you choose to have your exam scored, you will not be able to cancel your score at a later date. |
|
Step 10 |
Select the non-AMCAS schools you would like to release your scores to (if applicable). If you are applying to a non-AMCAS application service or medical school, you will have an opportunity to select from available options before ending your exam session. If you are applying to an AMCAS-participating school, you do not need to select the school on test day — your score will be automatically uploaded to your AMCAS application when it is available. |
Score or Void Your Exam
When you complete your exam, you will be given the opportunity to void or score your exam and select any participating schools that do not use the AMCAS system to receive your score report. You will have a maximum of 10 minutes to complete this task. Please note that if you do decide to void your exam, it will count as an attempt. You will see the below message regarding the time permitted at the end of your exam:
The maximum time to make your selections on this page is 10 minutes. If you do not make a selection, your exam will be scored, and your score will be reported. However, to avoid a significant delay in reporting your score, please do not close your browser or leave your exam before making a selection. You will not be able to void your exam or withhold your score report at a later date.
