kingstreet Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hello, I know that in some standardized tests, you have the option of cancelling the test score right after writing the test. Do you also have the option of cancelling your score for the MCAT after writing it if you feel like it didn't go as well as expected? Thanks!

kingstreet Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thank you! Do you happen to know of a site that can truly confirm this? I am asking because for my first MCAT, I want to be certain that I can use the experience to become familiar with the testing atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10wattbulb Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Check out this link from the official AAMC MCAT website: https://www.aamc.org/students/applying/mcat/taking/ Scroll down and read this: Voiding your Exam The AAMC offers you an option to void your MCAT® exam if you are uneasy with your performance and do not wish your test to be scored. This opportunity occurs at the end of your exam. Please refer to the MCAT Essentials [PDF document] for more information about voiding your exam.

Hintobean Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'd think carefully about voiding. I felt absolutely terrible after my MCAT (ran out of time on PS and was really frazzled for VR) and told my family and friends that I'd probably have to wait another year and re-write (wrote late August); I even tried to book a September sitting to re-write before my scores came in, but none were available. Despite all that, I ended up with a 37 (12/11/14). If your goal is to attend a Canadian medical school, they generally look only at your most recent score or (in some cases) your best, so having an historical bad score will not necessarily hurt your chances. To me it's not worth the risk of voiding a potentially good score but everyone's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
