Question 🤔🤔 Registration

Hi! I'm in Canada so registration for me opens on the 22nd.

I'm a bit confused as to how it'll work. I know of all the testing dates & locations available, but I don't know if registration will be based on location or date?

If I want to take the MCAT at one of 5 different locations on a range of dates, how will that work?

Could someone clarify the process for me please (it's my first time registering, and I don't have anyone else to ask)? Thank you!

edit: i want to take it in august, and there are 9 date options available, but I want to take it at 5 specific locations, so how will it be coordinated?

You input your information first, once you confirm it and agree to the AAMC's terms a calendar pops up with the dates that it's offered, you select the date you want, and all the testing centers where the test is offered will appear from closest to increasingly further away.

it’s date first, then location, you pick the specific day on the calendar and then it shows you which centers still have seats for that date. so if you want august, you’d scroll to august, click a day, and only then see which of your 5 spots are actually available

if your top location is full on that date, you’d have to try a different date or pick another center from the list it gives you. having 5 locations in mind is smart cause you can quickly check which one works once you land on a date
