Has anyone had their test day cancelled due to the testing center closing?

Not sure if you’ve heard the news but this was posted on the reddit MCAT thread a few minutes ago

They just canceled my March 27th test date and another April test date globally. I rescheduled for May 9th, but I saw on twitter that some people are getting tests as late as May 16th canceled already.

Oh yes, MCAT and STEP exams are being cut by the swath.

Assume you will be out of luck for at least three months. Take a week or two off to relax, and then do some low stress studying. Really let youself get the material without a test date hanging over your head.

how far into the summer do u think mcat dates will be cancelled? I'm assuming all april dates will be cancelld so i moved my exam to june 5 as they cancelled my original test date...do u think ill be safe. i have a feeling i should've rescheduled to later in june or even july when i had the chance to do it for free but i hate putting it off so much when my original date was the cancelled april one

At this point in time, I believe assumptions will cause unnecessary amounts of stress as there is no one person who can predict what will occur in the next few months. Being someone who is scheduled to take the MCAT on April 24th, I'm planning on sitting for the exam on that date until I hear otherwise. And if it helps relieve some of your stress, they have already initiated five clinical trials for the anti-viral medication, Remdesivir. The results from the trial in China should be available sometime in April.
