Hey, I am taking MCATs on May 22nd. I was wondering if anyone would like to share their online login id password for the practice exams on AAMC practice material website. Thanks
I wanted to postpone it until next month but I passed the deadline and won't get a refund on them. So I thought why not just take it? This is my second trial. Do you think I should not take it?If you're going to try and steal from AAMC by sharing an account with another user.. you can at least offer to pay for half of the account.
not to mention, your test is in less than two weeks and you've yet to take a practice test? oh boy

Who's gonna know lolstill against AAMC terms and conditions..
Who's gonna know lol
You're right. That's all that matters right? Do whatever you want as long as you don't get caught, morals be damned!
Don't mind me stealing from you.. as long as you don't figure it out, its no big deal.
(also, its a fairly easy thing to figure out based on IP addresses logging into the account and I'm fairly confident that if the AAMC cared, it would be an automatic red flag on the account which would lead to not being allowed to take the MCAT.. but who cares!)
Why do they need substantial proof? They don't have to prove anything in a court of law. Simply put, if they wanted to terminate your account and bar you from taking the MCAT on any non-discriminatory basis... they are allowed to. Read the terms and conditions.
But as you said, two wrongs make a right.
They could bar you, but they wouldn't. If they did they'd have a lawsuit on their hands that they wouldn't be able to win because they wouldn't have substantial evidence that the suspected individual was in fact breaching their terms and conditions willingly. This is all besides the point. It's unlikely that the aamc would pay that much attention to any single account to begin with. Also, for you to tell others about what is "moral" and what isn't is out of line. A written rule is not always a moral truth, but maybe you haven't learned that yet.

Pretty sure stealing is immoral. AAMC makes the materials, its up to them how they are distributed (ever hear of copyright law?). If they don't want them distributed in a certain way, that's their choice.. not yours. Oh by the way, is you telling me that I'm acting out of line moral or not? because I'm sensing some irony.
And they don't need substantial evidence lol. This isn't a criminal trial. Plus, I'm almost certain the AAMC would laugh at an individual trying to sue them.. I think they have the funds and lawyers on retainer to handle a measly lawsuit. It is blatantly obvious that an account is being shared when two different IP addresses in different locations routinely access the account and each take the AAMC Practice Tests separately. Have fun suing them and trying to get into medical school though.
Not to mention.. again.. as long as its on a non-discriminatory basis.. AAMC can bar you from using THEIR product for any reason they want and no lawsuit will change that. You can sue and likely get a refund but at the end of the day, if they don't want you to use their materials/services.. you aren't using their materials/services.
Do whatever you want but don't act like because you think the AAMC is evil, you are Robin Hood by doing so. If you're okay with stealing, go for it. Not once here did I say you shouldn't do it, just that it is wrong to do so. It's up to you to decide if that wrong is something you are okay with committing, like every other wrong in life.

Your reasoning is such garbage. I sincerely hope I never have to work with you when everything's said and done. Peace
The aamc is a scumbag organization that exploits applicants and you want to talk to me about morals. Hah. Even if the aamc checked an IP, they wouldn't have substantial proof to show that your account wasn't compromised or some bs. So chill out.
Great future doc here.
Hahaha can't attack the reasoning, attack the person. Classic.
Enjoy man. You're right though, you have the AAMC all figured out and are clearly more capable than their lawyers. Go get 'em! It'll probably only cost you a little more than the $100-200 you'll save.
I could but I don't feel like wasting my time quoting a bunch of random **** just to illuminate your errors. Even if I did, it's clear that you're incapable of accepting anything but your own ideas. Oh and I purchased my own tests, I'm only speaking for the OP.
Still here? weird.. thought you left.
And god damn do you make assumptions. Not sure why I can't accept other ideas and not sure where I said you didn't purchase your own tests.. I would love to make a VR crack here but ad hominem isn't my thing.
Drawing unwritten conclusions is part of VR. Didn't you know?
Except you're not supposed to make any assumptions that aren't stated in the passage 😉
but yea, I'm pretty certain I know what the MCAT entails.
