With the release of the 2022 MCAT exam dates and MCAT score release dates by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), pre-med students around the country are circling their calendars as they begin looking ahead to this high-stakes exam.
Once you know your MCAT exam date, you can more effectively begin your test prep by building a study plan, taking practice tests, identifying weak areas of knowledge, enlisting a study partner, and dedicating daily time for focused study. This advanced planning will help you avoid burnout and be confident and prepared on the day of your MCAT exam.
The MCAT is an exam anyone planning to apply to medical school must take, and a good score on your MCAT is necessary to distinguish you from other candidates in an extremely crowded applicant pool. This is why it is so important to identify your potential exam date and begin preparing as early as possible.
There is a surprising surge in the number of medical school applications in the wake of COVID-19, so every day of study and MCAT test prep gives you an advantage and will help your medical school application stand out from the rest.
