Forget 45 – now we’re all shooting for a 528!
The upcoming new MCAT scoring system was released and each section is scored from 118 to 132. There is a new focus on how test takers did percentage-wise compared to everyone taking the test that day, as well as people who score in the midrange.
- Quote:
"The new score scale emphasizes the center of the score range—rather than the top third—because students with scores at the center of the scale have historically performed well in medical school, typically graduating from medical school in four or five years and passing their licensing exams on the first try. The new scale is designed to draw attention to applicants who might otherwise be overlooked, and supports the holistic review of medical school applicants."
