MCAT score calculator
Turn your raw number correct into an estimated scaled score and percentile band. Built on the real 118 to 132 section scale and the 472 to 528 total.

Estimated score

An estimate only. The AAMC does not publish its raw-to-scaled conversion and it varies by form. Use this for a ballpark, not a promise.
How MCAT scoring works
The MCAT gives each section a scaled score from 118 to 132. There is no penalty for a wrong answer, so every question you get right can only help. The four sections add up to a total from 472 to 528, and the AAMC also reports a percentile so you can see where your score sits among test takers.
Because the AAMC keeps its exact conversion private and adjusts it for each form, no calculator can tell you your real scaled score from raw correct alone. This tool draws a straight line across the scale for a quick estimate. To coach the actual questions and cite the AAMC concept behind each one, that is what Atlas and the QBank are for.
Common questions
Is this the real AAMC score conversion?
No. The AAMC does not publish its raw-to-scaled conversion, and it changes slightly from one test form to the next. This calculator uses a straight-line estimate across the 118 to 132 scale, so treat the result as a ballpark, not a guarantee.
How is the MCAT scored?
Each of the four sections is scaled from 118 to 132, and the four combine into a total from 472 to 528, with 500 near the middle. There is no penalty for a wrong answer, so raw correct is what maps to your scaled score. Your report also shows a percentile.
Why a percentile and not a rank?
The MCAT reports where your total falls in the distribution of test takers, as a percentile. There is no single national rank. A 506, for example, sits near the 71st percentile in the published AAMC ranks.
How many questions are on each section?
Chem/Phys, Bio/Biochem and Psych/Soc have 59 questions each, and CARS has 53. A share of these are unscored pretest questions, which is one more reason this stays an estimate.
