This is completely on me but I was so wrapped up with secondaries that I mistakenly read the wrong time for my preview exam (7/24) that I was supposed to take. Three of my schools requires it (UCLA, UC Davis, and Kaiser). The next dates for preview is August 14 or 15 but the score releases in September past Labor Day. I also have some schools that recommend it

Is there any point still finished the secondaries and submitting (idk if taking it in August then is too late already)? Thank you very much!

You will be later than you intended but if you want to apply to those 3 schools take it in August.
In the next 3 weeks work on your secondaries so the PREview is the only thing that remains between you and being complete

Besides doing that, try not to feel that a single mistake will ruin everything else you have done. This is a small thing.

I concur. Finish your secondaries. I hope you aren't too heavily penalized for the no-show.

Thanks! still feels pretty bad that I missed it but I emailed preview and they said it doesn't count towards an attempt, I hope that means it won't harm me for schools
