Definition
The official date when AAMC releases an MCAT score for a given test date, used for application timing decisions.
Score release timing affects retake decisions, school-list timing, and application submission strategy. Students should verify the current calendar directly with AAMC before making irreversible scheduling choices.
A planning tool can keep score-release timing visible, but the official calendar remains the source of truth because dates can change by testing year.

Source caveat
Always verify score release dates directly with AAMC; calendar dates can change by testing year.
