The equivalent to a 30 on the old MCAT will be around a 510 on the new exam.

Nobody knows since nobody has taken it yet. You'll have to wait for percentile information from real tests.

I don't think that's right, a 500 on the new exam would be dead center of the distribution, which is the same as a 25 on the current test.

Assuming they try to keep a similar distribution of percentiles, you'll probably find that across the 56 point range (472 to 528):

very very few people (<5%) will score below a 17/498
similarly the top 5% will have scores of 43/515 and up
Probably less than the top 1% will break 48/520

Your right, I probably should have been a little more precise. When I said around 500 it actually is 510. I got my info from this thread here, they broke down the new range pretty well.
