Where Can I Take the MCAT?

The MCAT is administered at Pearson VUE testing sites in the United States, Canada, and other countries around the world. A quick search during registration will show you your nearest testing location. Remember, each center has limited capacity and is reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. By registering early, you have the greatest odds of confirming a seat at your preferred testing location on a day that best fits your schedule. Learn more about MCAT registration here.
