Helpful Hints about the Scheduling & Registration System
We want you to have the best registration experience possible.
The following information will help you navigate successfully through
the MCAT Scheduling and Registration System. Following the tips
below will prevent lost seats, multiple credit card charges, and
lost connections.
-
If you are taken to the Web page that says "Thank You
for Your Patience," you have arrived at a waiting room
because the system is busy. If you close this page or refresh
your browser, you will lose your turn and your wait starts over.
When you are taken to the login page, you will have one minute
to enter your user name and password.
-
Opening multiple browser windows and/or multiple tabs in a
Web browser decreases the chances that you will get into the
system and is very likely to significantly increase your wait
time.
-
Once you are in the system, some actions may take up to a
couple of minutes to complete, especially the payment page.
Do not refresh your browser, which could derail your action.
-
Use only the application controls ("Save and Continue,"
"Previous," etc.) to move from section to section.
Don't use browser buttons such as "Back," which could
disrupt your connection.
-
Do not open multiple browsers or more than one browser window;
this can slow the system down.
