<p>If a student voids his/her MCAT at the end of the exam, does the voiding appear on any official report sent to medical students? If no record is left, then couldn't a student take the test as many times as desired, voiding each exam until he/she felt confident about a test?</p>

<p>No refund is given for exams marked void. (@ $240 per exam)</p>
<p>Regardless, I [personally] find the driving force of the intentional act being described in your post a little unethical if the exam is voided more than once or twice. (although I do admit your thinking is quite clever) Why would anyone waste their time?</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t you just take the practice tests? There are TONS of them out there. Pool the money you’d waste by taking and voiding multiple times, put it toward a prep class, take all their practice tests (doubt you’ll have the time or energy to finish all of them), and then take the MCAT once…just like everyone else.</p>
<p>^
exactly, regardless of the ethics, this idea is just completely ineffective from a time and money standpoint. You can only have one test scheduled at a time and they fill up especially if you’re in a crowded area (any major city or college town with a remotely reputable school). Taking the real test every month or so but only up to 3 times with no feedback is pointless and at $240/test completely wasteful.</p>
<p>Most people are not going to feel confident coming out of the test. Unless you have objective evidence that you majorly screwed up, I suggest not voiding the test.</p>
<p>My son took the first sitting of the current exam when it was brand new and left not feeling terribly good about it. He ended up with a 39…more proof that you just never really know.</p>
