Certain violations of the MCAT registration rules may result in cancellation of a testing appointment, cancellation of scores, a ban from taking the MCAT exam for a designated period of time or permanently, or other consequences. Such violations include:
- Creating more than one AAMC ID.
- Registering for or taking the MCAT exam under another individual’s AAMC ID.
- Allowing someone else to register or test under your AAMC ID.
- Holding multiple appointments at the same time.
- Improperly exceeding the testing limits for the exam.
- Providing false or inaccurate information when creating an AAMC ID or registering to take the MCAT exam.
- Selling or giving away your AAMC ID or appointment to someone.
- Purchasing an AAMC ID or appointment from someone.
- Switching registrations with another examinee.
Failure to follow MCAT registration rules may create identity validation and verification issues, the potential for mistakes in the assignment of score results, and other disruptions related to the application process. If the AAMC suspects that you may have committed a registration or scheduling violation before your scheduled exam date that, if true, would threaten the validity, integrity, and/or security of the MCAT exam, the AAMC may, at its sole discretion, cancel or reschedule your exam to conduct an investigation.
