Yes. It’s common for students to retake the test in order to earn a higher score. However, it’s important to keep in mind that there are also limits as to how many times an individual can take the exam. For example, there is a lifetime limit of seven MCAT testing attempts. Moreover, you can only take the MCAT test three times in one year or four times over a two-year period. If you register for the test and miss your appointment or void the test scores, this counts towards your lifetime limit.
