Our MCAT score calculator predicts your MCAT score based on your performance on official AAMC practice materials.
By entering your AAMC practice test scores, the calculator will generate predictions for each section of the MCAT and a summary metric that provides an accurate overall score prediction.
Improve your MCAT score with MCAT Bootcamp, a study resource designed by two MCAT veterans with over 10 years of experience.
The MCAT is scored between 472 and 528.
A “good” MCAT score depends on your target schools. For many state schools, 510 may be competitive, while highly selective schools typically look for 518 or higher.
By pairing AAMC practice exams with our MCAT prediction tool, you can get a reliable forecast of your actual score and set realistic goals for your exam preparation.
The MCAT has four multiple-choice sections. Your raw score in each section is the number of questions you answer correctly. Wrong and skipped answers are treated the same—there is no penalty for guessing.
Each raw score is then converted into a scaled score ranging from 118 to 132. For example:
This scaling process ensures fairness and consistency across different MCAT test forms.
Because multiple test forms are administered each year, scaling accounts for slight differences in difficulty. Although all exams measure the same concepts, one form may be slightly harder than another.
Raw scores are converted to scaled scores so that a 124 on one form is equivalent to a 124 on another. This ensures your predicted MCAT score reflects ability, not test form difficulty.
No. The MCAT is not graded on a curve. Your score does not depend on how well other students perform on the same test day.
Instead, your performance is scaled and equated to ensure that scores have the same meaning, regardless of when you take the exam or who else tests that day.
The AAMC takes about 30–35 days to release MCAT scores. During this period, they:
This process ensures that every reported score is accurate, fair, and reliable.
Your score report also includes percentile ranks, which show how you performed compared to other test takers. For example, scoring in the 85th percentile means you did better than 85% of examinees.
Percentiles are updated each May 1 using data from the previous three years. This provides a stable and accurate reflection of score performance across test cycles.
Incredibly similar. We spent over a year analyzing AAMC materials to replicate the exact logic used in the CARS section, creating passages and questions that mirror what you’ll encounter on the real MCAT. Every passage and question is carefully mapped to official AAMC resources to ensure you receive the most authentic practice possible.
