Frequently asked questions
How are section scores themselves calculated?
The AAMC converts each section’s raw score to the 118–132 scale using equating for that test form. That conversion is not published as a formula, which is why this calculator starts from section scores.
What is a competitive MCAT score?
It varies by school. Recent matriculant averages sit near 511–512 nationally, with the median of all test-takers near 500. Check the MSAR or school websites for program-specific figures.
Why does the scale start at 472?
Four sections × the 118 minimum = 472; the maximum is 4 × 132 = 528. The scale was designed so 500 is the midpoint.
