Which MCAT Test Date is Best for You?

There are four available MCAT® Test Dates in January 2025:

  1. January 10, 2025
  2. January 11, 2025
  3. January 16, 2025
  4. January 24, 2025

January is ideal for students who wish to take the earliest available test date. Taking the test in January permits enough time to retake if necessary and still make the early admissions deadlines. January test dates are also ideal for out-of-school students who have completed their prerequisites and are taking an interim year before matriculating into medical school or for students who attend schools with a long break between the fall and spring semesters.

January test takers should start preparing in September with the start of the fall semester.

There are six available MCAT® Test Dates in March/April 2025:

  1. March 8, 2025
  2. March 21, 2025
  3. April 4, 2025
  4. April 5, 2025
  5. April 25, 2025
  6. April 26, 2025

March/April test dates are an excellent option for students who wish to have their scores back from the AAMC before the start of the application cycle. This gives applicants a distinct advantage in rolling admissions since their applications will be complete and ready for review by early June when applications open up.

Preparation for the March/April tests can begin as early as September with the start of fall classes or as late as January with the start of spring classes.

There are six available MCAT® Test Dates in May 2025:

  1. May 3, 2025
  2. May 9, 2025
  3. May 10, 2025
  4. May 15, 2025
  5. May 23, 2025
  6. May 31, 2025

Students who have completed their finals can fully focus on taking the MCAT without other academic distractions. In addition, students' scores will be ready by late June, just after the start of the application cycle. May is also a good choice for students who wish to maintain the option to retest later in the summer before the close of the application cycle.

Preparation for the May tests can begin as early as October during the middle of fall classes or as late as January with the start of spring classes.

There are four available MCAT® Test Dates in June 2025:

  1. June 13, 2025
  2. June 14, 2025
  3. June 27, 2025
  4. June 28, 2025

Because many students wish to take the MCAT in June, students are advised to register well in advance. June is a popular test date as it offers the unique convenience of allowing time for preparation over the summer and the ability to retest during the same application cycle.

Preparation for the June MCAT can begin as early as January with the start of spring classes, with lots of free time during the summer spent on practice.

There are two available MCAT® Test Dates in July 2025:

  1. July 12, 2025
  2. July 25, 2025

July will be a popular choice for students wishing to take the early half of summer to prepare for the test. July will also be popular as students who've taken the exam earlier in the year look to re-take the exam

Preparation for the July exam can begin as early as January with the beginning of the spring semester or during March.

There are four available MCAT® Test Dates in August 2025:

  1. August 1, 2025
  2. August 16, 2025
  3. August 22, 2025
  4. August 23, 2025

The August exam dates are ideal for students who need longer preparation time for the MCAT. These testing options will also be very popular with retesting students who wish to retake the test before the first application deadline in October.

Preparation for the August dates can begin as early as March for out-of-school students or mid-May after finals.

There are four available MCAT® Test Dates in September 2025:

  1. September 4, 2025
  2. September 5, 2025
  3. September 12, 2025
  4. September 13, 2025

The September exam dates are ideal for students who need longer preparation time for the MCAT.

These testing options will also be very popular with retesting students who wish to retake the test before the first application deadline in October.

Preparation for the September dates can begin as early as March for out-of-school students or mid-May after finals.
