I don't feel comfortable having my exam scored because my test prep has been disrupted over the past few days but I'd still like to take the exam to get a taste of what the MCAT is really like. I was almost certainly going to take the test for practice but I recently came across something that unnerved me. A few posters on another thread claimed that schools will be able to find out about the voided attempt if they bother to look into it. Thoughts?

Members don't see this ad.
 
ADCOMS do not see voids:
  • MCAT scores earned in 2003 and later will be automatically released to AMCAS if you do not void your scores at the time of the exam. Once you release your scores, you cannot “unrelease” them; they will be included in all future AMCAS applications.
Emphasis mine. Source: https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical-school/article/section-9-standardized-tests/

However, voided exams will use up one of your allotted exam attempts. See: https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical-school/faq/mcat-faqs/

EDIT

On review of other threads people have claimed that it can be accessed by adcoms. My linked information above simply states that the score won't be pushed, not that the fact that you voided isnt' seen.
