System Maintenance at AAMC.org

During the times noted below, individuals will not have the ability to purchase MCAT Test preparation products from at AAMC.org.
Additionally, new users without a registered e-mcat account, will not be able to pick-up bulk products with authorization codes. 

Existing e-mcat account users will be able to use bulk order authorization codes. 

 

The dates the AAMC site, www.aamc.org, will be affected are:

 

Sunday, September 7  - 5:00 am to 12:00 pm ET

 

To prevent interruptions during this time:



  • Have a new user register prior to these dates at AAMC and establish their e-mcat.com account for the first time. 
    • Existing e-mcat users can enter authorization codes for products and will not have access issues with previously purchased authorization codes.
  • To set up an account, the student is using the AAMC order system to acquire free Practice Test 3 at www.aamc.org/freemcatpractice.  Following the instructions in the order confirmation email, a student may not be able to proceed with setting up an account on e-mcat.com.
  • Inform students that they will not be able to purchase any MCAT practice tests or self-assessment directly from the AAMC during the two dates and times noted above. Encourage interested students to purchase their MCAT products in advance of either date to ensure they can practice.
A notification will also be placed on e-mcat.com to alert users about the AAMC system maintenance. If you have any questions, contact mcatprep@aamc.org.
