What is the scoring format of the MCAT?

Question

How are the MCAT sections scored?

Answer 1

The MCAT is scored in a curve based on your score on 4 equally weighted sections:

1) Chemical and Physical Foundations

2) Biological and Biochemical Foundations

3) Psychological, Social and Biological Foundations

4) Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills

For each section, you are assigned a score from 118 to 132. Since is it based on a curve, 125 is determined to be the median, the center of each distribution.

This makes the average overall score being 500. The lowest possible score is 472 and the highest is 528
