A friend and I were considering splitting up the cost of the practice tests and "share" an account. Is this possible/viable?

It is possible, but you would have to allow each other to see your scores. I don't know about you, but I don't want people to see my scores. You will either get the, "I am so sorry about your scores, what are you doing wrong" or the "How the heck did you get so high! Tell me everything!"

I personally think spending the extra $17.50 per test (since you would spend the full $35 by yourself or $17.50 together) is fair enough to justify confidentiality.

well assuming youre not breaking any rules- i say go for it.

confidentiality lol? well for me i wouldnt really care about that. i dont care if anyone sees my practice scores. wouldnt want anyone seeing my real score though

Well your practice scores and your real MCAT scores are going to be the same or very similar. If you average a 20, it is unreasonable to expect a 35 on the MCAT.
Besides, if I was even averaging a 27 and my friend was getting a 38, I would wonder why I was such a failure. I don't recommend sharing scores, but that is just my opinion.

This would be a violation of the AAMC's Terms of Use for the practice exams: https://www.aamc.org/publications/274794/mcatpracticetesttermsconditions.html
