I have a disability or medical condition that makes it difficult to wear a mask for the duration of the test. I believe I need an adjustment to the mask requirement.
The use of face masks is required by all staff and MCAT examinees at all test centers. If you have a disability or medical condition that you believe requires an adjustment to this requirement, you are encouraged to apply for an accommodation. Information and instructions on applying for accommodations can be found on the MCAT Accommodation Services web pages. For questions or additional guidance, please contact MCAT Accommodation Services at accommodations@aamc.org.
I am immunocompromised. What are my options to take the MCAT exam safely?
If you are immunocompromised and require an adjustment to the standard testing conditions, we encourage you to apply for an accommodation. Accommodations will not be provided without prior approval. Additional information and instructions on applying for accommodations can be found on the MCAT Accommodation Services web pages. For questions or additional guidance, please contact MCAT Accommodation Services at accommodations@aamc.org.
