The 2010 testing calendar for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)is now available online at http://www.aamc.org/students/mcat/reserving/mcatschedule2010.htm.
The following are some frequently asked questions about the calendar:
Q: When will registration open for the 2010 test dates?
A: Registration will open in fall 2009 for the January through May test dates. We will announce the exact date about one week prior to the opening day, however, we will not announce a specific time of day. Registration for the June through September test dates will open in early 2010.
Q: Can examinees with 2009 reservations reschedule into 2010?
A: Since registration for 2010 will open after we complete 2009 testing, examinees may not reschedule from 2009 to 2010.
Q: When will the registration deadline and score release schedule be posted?
A: We will post these dates along with updated MCAT Essentials and other relevant information when we announce the registration opening date.
Q: When will international testing dates be available?
A: We are working on the international calendar now and expect to post these dates by the end of this summer.
Q: Will MCAT staff host Web conferences for advisors again this year?
A: Yes, we will plan Web conferences to review the registration process and policies and give advisors an opportunity to ask questions before we open registration. We expect to announce the conference dates in late August or early September.
Q: Will the AAMC provide the calendar pads again this year?
A: Yes! We have printed pads and are creating some other helpful resources for advisors to provide their students. We will mail the package to advisors and admissions officers around late September.
