Is there an AMCAS FAQ for common, but unanswered questions not on the AMCAS website? I have a few questions about the process, but there seems to be no centralized thread or page for such questions.

I have questions like:
a) for a club, if I had different jobs each year, do I list it under the same club, or make separate entries for each position? Kinda relevent because each position had a lot of duties.
b) for schools not based on an hour system, but on a credit system instead, what do I do?
c) should I submit the AMCAS before I get my scores from April?
d) do I include stuff that I am planning for this summer and next semester?

and such.

in regards to b, if you are talking about penn, i was told by the premed advisor to list it as it appears on your transcript. So for a normal class, you would just put down 1 even though it is cu and not credit hours. apparently amcas will know what to do when they verify.
 
a) it's up to you
b) You have to convert them to semester hours (if they are convertible)
c) no
d) yes
 
Yes, there is one. It's called "Search". Nearly every question you have will have been asked and answered before.
