Registration Now Open: AAMC PREview™ Professional Readiness Exam

 

The following information is intended for applicants applying to medical schools participating in the 2023 AAMC PREview™ professional readiness exam.        The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2023 AAMC PREview™ professional readiness exam testing year. The testing year has been extended and will begin in March, with the first score release in April.   The AAMC PREview exam is an important addition to the medical admissions process, and when combined with other parts of the medical school application (experiences, personal essays, academic records, MCAT score, and interviews), it provides schools with a more complete view of the whole applicant. Participating schools have committed to strongly encouraging or requiring applicants to complete the AAMC PREview exam during the 2024 application cycle. We are grateful to the leadership at these institutions for demonstrating their commitment to holistic review and to finding new and better ways to identify students who possess the academic knowledge and professional competencies needed to succeed in medical school.          The exam will be administered with a live remote proctor at a location of an applicant’s choosing (e.g. at home, a library, etc.) while maintaining a secure environment.   We encourage applicants to use the free preparation and practice materials that are currently available on the AAMC PREview website.  As participating MD-granting programs determine how they will consider PREview scores in their application review (require, recommend, or accept for research only), they will update their websites and Medical School Admission Requirements™ (MSAR®) profiles. Additionally, information about PREview participating MD-granting schools will be available in the AMCAS application. Please refer your advisees to these resources or contact the schools directly to learn more about their use of PREview scores. Note, not all MD-granting schools have adopted use of the PREview exam at this time.    You can find information about the AAMC PREview exam on our website, including more detailed information about:    The AAMC PREview 2023 administration  How to register to take the AAMC PREview exam    How to prepare for the AAMC PREview exam   Frequently asked questions   We encourage you to share this information with your students, as well as forthcoming information about a webinar for applicants that will be held in the spring.
