MCAT Score Calculator

Category: Algebra and General

Calculate your estimated MCAT score based on the number of correct answers in each section. This calculator helps pre-med students predict their MCAT performance.

Section Scores

Number of correct answers (0-59)
Number of correct answers (0-53)
Number of correct answers (0-59)
Number of correct answers (0-59)

Calculation Options

Conservative Generous
Standard (2/3)
Total MCAT Score Formula:
Total Score = Scaled Score (CP) + Scaled Score (CARS) + Scaled Score (BB) + Scaled Score (PS)
Each section score ranges from 118 to 132. The total score ranges from 472 to 528.

What Is the MCAT Score Calculator?

The MCAT Score Calculator is an online tool that helps pre-medical students estimate their potential score on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). By entering the number of correct answers in each section, you receive an approximate scaled score and overall score, along with percentile estimates and guidance on your competitiveness for medical school admissions.

How It Works

The calculator uses estimated scoring curves to convert your raw scores into scaled scores. These scores are then added together to produce your total MCAT score. It also provides percentile rankings to help you understand how your score compares to Other test takers.

How to Use the MCAT Score Calculator

  • Enter your number of correct answers for each MCAT section:
    • Chemical & Physical Foundations (0โ€“59)
    • Critical Analysis & Reasoning (0โ€“53)
    • Biological & Biochemical Foundations (0โ€“59)
    • Psychological & Social Foundations (0โ€“59)
  • Use the slider to choose your curve estimation:
    • Conservative โ€“ More difficult scoring
    • Standard โ€“ Balanced estimate
    • Generous โ€“ Easier scoring
  • Optional: Check the box to show percentile estimates for each section and your total score.
  • Click Calculate MCAT Score to see your results, analysis, and recommendations.

Benefits of Using This Calculator

  • Quick Estimation: Get immediate feedback on your performance based on practice test results.
  • Goal Setting: Understand what score you need to reach your target medical schools.
  • Performance Analysis: Identify strong and weak areas to guide future study sessions.
  • Visual Insights: View charts and breakdowns of section scores and percentile estimates.

FAQs

Is this tool accurate?

This tool provides close approximations based on historical MCAT data. However, actual MCAT scores may vary depending on question difficulty and other factors.

What does the curve estimation mean?

The curve estimation lets you simulate how strict or generous the scoring might be. A "conservative" curve assumes tougher scoring, while a "generous" curve assumes easier grading.

Why do percentiles matter?

Percentiles show how your score compares to other test takers. A 75th percentile means you scored higher than 75% of test takers.

How can I improve my score?

Focus on consistent practice, review weaker sections, and use additional tools such as a Percent Error Calculator to evaluate accuracy in practice questions.

Who Should Use This Tool?

This calculator is useful for anyone preparing for the MCAT and looking to measure performance after full-length practice exams. Itโ€™s ideal for tracking improvement and identifying which sections need attention.

How This Calculator Relates to Other Tools

Just like a Scientific Calculator helps with complex equations or a percent error calculator helps determine accuracy, the MCAT Score Calculator offers specific insight into performance forecasting. It complements other Math tools like the Fraction Calculator for breaking down percentages, the Matrix Calculator for problem-solving strategies, or the Percent Calculator for analyzing question accuracy.

Final Notes

  • There is no penalty for wrong answers on the MCAT โ€” make sure to answer every question.
  • Use the insights from this calculator to guide your study plan.
  • This is an estimation tool โ€” always take official AAMC practice exams for the most reliable scoring predictions.
