I got a 510 on my MCAT with scores of CP:128 CARS:128 BB:125 PS:129. BB was typically my best section on practice exams and I don't know where I went wrong. Will this low BB score keep me out of any mid-range school cutoffs?
56What percentile does a 125 equate to for that test date?
Why do you think that B/B is the most valued section? I've heard that CARS is often considered the most important, since it correlates with MS-3 and MS-4 performance more than the other sections doThat equates to a 9 on the old exam, which is not that low - especially since your composite score = a 31-32.
Of course, it's the most valued section according to what I have seen, but I don't see it causing problems as long as your sGPA is high.

it would at mine. Didn't you learn anything from your Biology courses? Look in MSAR at Bio subscores and their percentiles to give you an idea of the hole you're in.

Nope...but it does make me grumble at times.A DO school is going to reject a guy with a 3.9 sGPA and a 510 because b/b was a 125?

No, we don't. I was just grumpy thinking about it. I need to edit.So your school does not screen out people with 125 B/B? I'm confused

Incorrect. The most recent literature has shown B/B has the highest correlation with step 1 performance and is the most heavily weighted subject.

I’m applying this cycle with a 513, but a 125 in B/B, and have 5 MD interviews so far. I don’t think it’s a death sentence , OP.
