Dates come from the official AAMC 2027 U.S. calendar. For choosing an appointment or comparing application timelines, use the MCAT test-date guide. This page focuses on what happens to your results after testing.
How to view your MCAT scores
Check the release day for your exact administration. January 29 and January 30, 2027, for example, both release March 2. Adding a fixed number of days yourself can give the wrong date.
Sign in to the AAMC Score Reporting System with the AAMC account used for the exam. Keep account recovery separate from creating a new registration identity.
Open the report and check its test date. If you have more than one administration, make sure you are viewing the intended result before saving a copy or comparing it with a school’s requirements.
Read the total alongside the section scores. Use our MCAT score-range guide for the scale and MCAT percentile table for interpretation. Avoid making an application decision from the total alone.
AAMC’s receiving-and-sending guidance sets the release time at no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern. Scores are not given by phone or email, and a recent administration will not appear in your history before release. The integrated reporting system provides an email notification when results are ready; the account remains the place to view them.
How scores reach application services and schools
Release is different from an application being complete
Destination
What to do
AMCAS
Reportable MCAT scores from 2003 onward are supplied automatically. Check that your application and test account use the correct identity.
Schools or services outside AMCAS
Use the Score Reporting System’s release options and the recipient’s instructions. Do not assume AMCAS transmission covers another service.
Your own records
Save the report for reference. A personal copy does not replace an official transmission when a recipient requires one.
For AMCAS, keep upcoming or recently completed test dates accurate while results are pending, then update the application as directed once the score arrives. See AMCAS MCAT score instructions. For other recipients, follow the AAMC score-release process and check the destination account afterward.
Three different milestones: AAMC releases the score; an application service receives it; a school marks your file complete. The published release date establishes the first milestone. It is not a promise that every school will update its portal that day.
What to check when a score is missing
Locate the missing step before requesting help
What you see
What to check
No score before the listed release time
Wait for the published deadline. An empty history entry before release does not itself indicate lost results.
No score after release day
Confirm the administration date, account and whether the exam was voided. Contact AAMC through its official support channel with those details.
AAMC has the score, but AMCAS does not
Check identifiers and application information. Keep a record of the report date and the status you see when contacting support.
A school still shows a missing item
Confirm the correct recipient and transmission route, then ask that school about its processing time. A school portal can lag behind the score report.
Before contacting support, record your test date, the account you used, when you checked, and which system is missing the result. Describe the mismatch precisely—for example, “visible in AAMC, absent in the school portal.” Do not send passwords or payment information with a routine status question.
Use the result to decide what comes next
Compare the result with your actual school list and section requirements using our MCAT score benchmarks. If you are considering another attempt, identify the change in preparation that would justify it before paying for a new date. The registration guide explains costs and deadlines, while mixed practice can help you investigate a specific weak area.
If a score is still pending, AMCAS can verify an application without it. That does not make every school ready to review your file: check each school’s accepted test dates, completion deadline and any pending-score policy before building your submission plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
AAMC publishes scores no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the scheduled release date. Use the date associated with your actual test administration; do not assume exactly 30 days.
A recent exam does not appear in score history until its score is released. Check the published release date before treating an absent entry as an account problem.
For exams taken from 2003 onward, AAMC automatically makes reportable MCAT scores available to AMCAS. Voided exams do not produce reportable scores. Schools using other application services may require a separate release.
Yes. An MCAT score is not required for AMCAS verification. A school can still have its own rules for when your application is complete and ready for review.
