MCAT Admit Card 2026

The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is held multiple times each year, typically between January and September. Candidates interested in appearing for the exam must complete the online application process, select their preferred test date and centre, and pay the registration fee of USD 345. Each candidate is allowed up to seven attempts to pass the exam. Once registered, candidates will be able to download their MCAT admit card 2026, which is usually released about 5-10 days before the exam date. The admit card will be made available on the official website of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). To download it, candidates must log in using their application number and password.

The admit card informs candidates regarding the date, time, slot, and venue of the exam so they can prepare and plan accordingly. It also works as the identification of the candidate; each admit card has the name of the respective candidate, roll number, signature, and passport-size photograph, allowing the authorities to verify the candidate’s identity and if they applied to appear in the examination or not. The candidate won't be allowed to appear in the examination or even enter the examination hall without the official admit card, so candidates must carry it along with an ID (e.g., passport) and a passport-size photograph.
