Seems to be working on Firefox right now. All I did was download it and entered e-mcat.com and it worked!

 

[cbutterworth]

ugh... and stopped working....

 

[HCHopeful]

Yep. Same here.

Ugh. And a happy new year to you too, AAMC.

AAMC Rep 1: "Let's switch DNS servers in the month of the last set of old MCATs. Who's with me?!?

*entire committee raises hands*

/facepalm

I'm finna slap a technician.

just got kicked off the site in the middle of a practice test. le sigh.

I was wondering the same thing. There are what, 5 MCAT exams coming up in the next three weeks? Wouldn't it have been a better idea to do this on, maybe, January 24?

Oh well, we'll live. I was pretty bummed about it last night, but in the larger scheme of things it's good practice in rolling with the unexpected, accepting the things we can't control, and all that. (...as long as it comes back soon!)

After clearing my browser data, the alternate link started working for me!

Edit: both are actually working now! Hooray!

 

[HCHopeful]

I cleared my browser data and nothing is working. Yay.

Google how to change your DNS or clear your DNS cache. It will fix the problem. It depends on how often your ISP updates. Trying clearing it first, then change it if that doesn't work. Go to your network preferences on a mac, advanced setting, DNS, and click a different DNS. It worked for me. Sorry I can't explain it more, I'm not a computer person.

Or you can wait 24-72 hours for your ISP to update.

I cleared my DNS cache a long time ago.

I just called AAMC. The website is down and the person said they hope it is fixed by the end of today but I got the feeling they had no clue when it was going to be fixed.

Working for me just fine, so no idea why that worked for me.
