MCAT Registration Announcement

Announcement from Test Administrations and Operations/MCAT

Yesterday afternoon our technical staff implemented some changes to help alleviate the bottleneck in our system. In addition to these changes, usage began to drop, although it remained steady throughout the afternoon and evening. Several thousand examinees were able to register by this morning, compared to only 553 by 4 pm yesterday. We do not yet have a permanent solution, so during times of peak usage, the system will continue to slow down.

I will continue to send updates as I learn more. We will also update our Web page as necessary. Please accept my thanks for your patience as yesterday’s excitement exacerbated our collective exasperation. We will continue to improve the system.
