Middle Names

Hey, this seems like minutia, but I was wondering if anyone out there registered without including their middle names although their middle names were on their official IDs. Did they let you into the room?

Like a stupidhead, I just realized I did this and I've got to call the AAMC tomorrow morning because my test is at 2pm.

"The Test Center Administrator will look for an exact match of the name on the identification you present with the name that appears on the test day list. If the list has a partial name, nickname, or any derivation of the name that appears on your identification (including misspellings), the administrator is not allowed to admit you to the testing room."

gosshhhh noooo 🙁

I had the same worry. I took the 5/22 MCAT and registered with a middle name but no middle name on my ID. It was completely fine- they didn't even mention it. I think just first and last name have to be exactly the same.

Good luck! I get score in 6 days. ahh

Okay, thanks a bunch, that calmed me down a bit although we might be in reverse situations. Ahhh, no it's gonna be okay. Good luck!

I had a friend get turned away on test day for registering as "Josh" when his license said "Joshua". Lame.
So, when setting up my test date I called the test center and SPECIFICALLY asked about middle name and address (mailing VS school VS license) and they said they didn't care about those, just the FIRST and LAST name.
good luck man!

I don't think its a huge deal, I went to test today despite putting my first name and middle name in reverse order (for those who changed into an English name from a different language, this is not that ******ed of a mistake), and no one at the registration appeared to notice the invert.

However, as always, YMMV
