How your score is estimated

Why there is no exact conversion

Each MCAT section is reported from 118 to 132, and the total from 472 to 528. The AAMC equates every exam form, so the same number of correct answers can map to slightly different scaled scores on different forms. It does not publish those tables.

What we do instead

1. For every section, we collected three public raw-to-scaled estimates.
2. For each scaled score we take the median of the minimum correct answers the three estimators require.
3. Between those anchor points we interpolate and round to the nearest whole score.
4. We show a range: about ±1 point per section at 128 and above, about ±2 at 122 and below, where the estimators disagree most.

How to read your result

Treat the midpoint as a best guess and the range as the honest answer. Track the direction of your scores across practice tests rather than any single number, and use official AAMC practice exams to calibrate closer to test day.
