MCAT® Exam with Accommodations FAQ

We highly recommend that you submit your application as soon as it is complete with all the necessary supporting documentation. See our Review Cycles and Important Dates page to help you submit your request in a timely manner.

Initial applications for accommodations will generally be reviewed within 60 days of submission of a complete application. Reconsiderations, Appeals and Extensions will generally be reviewed within 30 days of submission of a complete application. Submitting an incomplete application may increase this time frame, so make sure to read our Application Guidelines and Requirements page before submitting your application.

Your history of accommodations will be given considerable weight and documentation of previous accommodations is an important component of your application; however, the other documentation you submit must also substantiate your current need for accommodations on the MCAT or PREview exam. Keep in mind that policies and procedures for establishing eligibility for accommodations may vary across different settings and contexts (e.g., high school, college, high stakes standardized testing environment).
