I'm pleased with my results
517 total

129 for Physics/Chem, Psych, and Verbal, 130 for Biology.

What does this convert to old scale? 96 percentile.

I'd say roughly a 47.









I wonder if we can implement a popup with the conversion chart so that no one has to scroll through pages. Or a google utility? It's a bad@ss score. ~35.

Don't let Kaplan scare you! Your scores are much better than mine ever were on the kaplan FLs and I ended up getting a 509 on the real thing. So you should be fine, however don't walk into the exam thinking that the real thing will be any easier either

According to the old score distributions (assuming percentiles don't change), that will give you the equivalent of an 8 or a 9. Most likely an 8. This will be surmountable when applying to mid-tier schools because it looks like you killed it in other sections, but I don't think a top-tier school would be ok with an 8 in any section. If I were you I would either apply more mid-tier than top-tier or, if absolutely deadset on applying nearly exclusively top-tier, just retake the thing. But honestly, there are great mid-tier schools and you did well in every other section so retaking it is seeming a bit nonsensical to me even as I type this.

Anyone else having trouble feeling good about their scores after seeing what some of the other geniuses on this website got?? (And congrats to them!!)

Ended up with a 512 (128/128/129/127) and am unclear on what level of schools to apply to. cGPA is 3.5, bcmpGPA is 3.8.

Prelim: Total: 90-100%; C/P: 82-97%; CARS: 85-100%; BIO: 85-100%; P/S: 85-100%

Actual: Total: 516 (95%); C/P: 128 (87%); CARS: 129 (93%); BIO: 129 (93%); P/S: 130 (97%).

It's funny because I was so worried about Psych/Soc walking out of the testing center. I was thinking, "Man, I hope I at least got a 125 in the psych section." Whereas I thought I crushed chem/physics and Bio. Meh. Not bad for a month of studying.

Never mind what kalana says - we are experts here at SDN and pride ourselves on our expertise. You, my friend, would not be wasting your money by applying.

You're fine, give it a shot or retake. Its not the best score here, but its not horrible either. You're competitive for DO, and if you have a strong application/GPA and apply wisely to low-tier schools, you might be able to get in. As far as your life being over, may I suggest Rational Behavior Therapy?

Ps. Don't compare your scores to the scores here on SDN, their scores don't represent the average population

Do you really think so? I am being honest about my thoughts. I mean everyone on this forum is doing much better than I did.

ok I understand. Sorry for being so harsh. Call the schools which you are interested in. A lot of schools are asking students for 50th percentile or better and you are definitely in that range.Many schools do not even have a clue what to do with these scores.

Do not compare yourself with the 522's on this forum..or anyone on this forum for a matter of fact. Feel free to direct message me.

For anyone who got above a 518, what materials did you use?
Click to expand...
I used Altius's MCAT Everywhere online program. It's the online materials I used other than the AAMC FL and the AAMC Official Guide, which are both part of Altius's program. Never opened a textbook or any class notes, just studied straight from their prep materials and did what they said to do.

As far as how I felt leaving the test, I honestly strongly considered voiding it (glad I didn't! haha) because I thought I had bombed everything but CAR, which is ironic given that CAR was my worst section.

Did I tell the individual he/she will be wasting money? Or did I discourage them? Good bye.

This might be a little extreme, but while a lot of people here clearly know their **** it is generally good advice not to put too much stock in advice you don't receive directly from a medical school about this sort of thing.

Like many I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out:
C/P: 129
CARS: 132
B/BC: 130
P/S: 128
Overall: 519 (98%)

Congrats to everyone who got what they wanted - you guys are wild. Lets all go get blitzed.

519 (130/129/130/130) - Very excited about the doors i've opened with my score on the test.

Let's all take a second to remember that we're not defined by a number or a score on one test. Congratulations to everyone on getting through this stressful experience. For those of you who didn't score as highly as you would have liked, please remember that this is just one exam. We all have our good days, and we all have our bad days. If being a doctor is your dream, then don't give up. Cowboy (cowgirl) up and retake the exam. You can do it. You will do it. And you will be a doctor someday. Best of luck to everyone during the application process.

I felt pretty neutral. Knew I hadn't blown it but had no idea I would score as high as I did.

Pysch seemed very rough at the time but did fine. I probably guessed between two on more than 20 questions

This is EXACTLY on point with how i felt after the test and I ended up getting a 519 (131, 129, 130, 129, in order). Just goes to show that it really doesnt matter how you felt about the test because all that really matters is how you did compared to others.

I think Khan Academy videos should be people's go to. I watched every single one at 1.5X speed in 4 weeks. Anytime a subject seemed confusing, I would crack open the princeton review book and read the corresponding section and answer the questions. This was much more efficient than reading entire review books and lets you really skip to the things you need work on quickly.

I also think that AAMC made Khan a priority because it is a free online resource that anyone can use. So this levels the playing field for grad students like me who cannot afford expensive prep courses.

July taker here- I felt really good at psych/soci maybe getting a max of 3-4 wrong. will this put me 130+ in the section? I felt really bad about bio/biochem had to guess on so many questions...should I expect a 125? CARS I felt good and got 85 on the FL should I expect a 129? Chem I felt alright in, 127?
