Check Test Center Health Requirements Before Exam Day 

State and local health and safety requirements are changing frequently. The AAMC’s testing partner, Pearson VUE, has established mask requirements that align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as state and local guidance regarding the wearing of masks indoors. Every examinee must review their test center’s mask and health requirements for testing before their exam date. If you are testing in a third-party test center in Canada, Puerto Rico, or Lebanon, there may be additional health requirements. Be sure to view the link in your confirmation email.  

Please check the health requirements often, including the night before or morning of your exam. If you do not meet test center-specific health requirements, you will not be allowed to test and will not be eligible for a refund. If you have questions, contact us at mcatsafety@aamc.org or visit our health and safety page.
