When Should I Register for the MCAT?

Although you have many opportunities to take the MCAT, you should not wait until the last minute to register.

Many factors go into deciding when to take your MCAT, some of which include:

  • Will you want to re-take the exam? Taking the MCAT earlier in the year gives you the option of retaking it at a later date if you get a score that you’re not satisfied with.
  • When will you be attending medical school? Many examinees choose to schedule the exam the same year they apply to medical school.
  • Do you feel confident in your knowledge of the material? The MCAT tests you on a broad range of subjects including:
    • Psychology
    • Sociology
    • Biology
    • General and Organic Chemistry
    • First-semester Biochemistry

Many students choose to take the MCAT during the summer so that they can spend the upcoming school year focusing on course work. Taking the MCAT during the summer months gives students the opportunity to dedicate their time to studying for the exam.

For those wanting to go straight to medical school after they graduate college, they will need to take the MCAT in May of their junior year so that they can submit their application in June. If you want to take one year off before attending medical school, you will need to take the MCAT in May of your senior year and then submit your application in June.

Taking the MCAT the summer after you graduate would mean two years between college and medical school. If this option works for you, then you will need to submit your application in June after you graduate college.
