How does the mcat two year attempt limit work? Is it based on the January- September testing year? Or is it two years based on your first test date?
For example, if it is based on the January - September testing year someone could test:
- 08/25/2021
- 09/12/2021
- 03/24/2022
- 09/11/22
- 01/05/23
Because though this is five attempts total, only the first 4 are within the “two consecutive testing year” window
However, if it were to be off the person’s first test date (I.e. 08/25/2021) they would only have 4 attempts between 08/25/2021-08/25/2023 which means the 01/05/23 date wouldn’t be possible.
Just asking because have had awful luck with sickness/unexpected situations coming up and needing to cancel last minute which counts as attempts, so wanting to figure out and gain clarity on this. Any help would be appreciated!
