i guess it could vary from year to year b/c the test is curved but i think i've also noticed that the 33 range is usually a 9

How can you calculate that based on those stats? that just seems like a wild hunch.... can you also determine what are 10s, 11s, 12s, 13s, 14s and 15s for each of the subject tests as well? if so please tell

um... you could not have extrapolated that data from those graphs.

aite..i think you only need that about 33-34 to get a 9 in verbal...cuz its been like that from as far as i know...looking at those stats and averaging them for each mcat scored....
rite???

A 39/60 is only a 7 on the aamc test 8. That was my score that was corrected by e-mcat.org (created by mcat officaials) who gives and scores aamc tests.

You needed at least 40 to get a 9 based on AAMC 3R-7 and sometimes a 42 was not enough for a 9.

reread that page. That is percentile rank not percentage correct. I think I see a thread like this every 2 months and I always get sucked in!!

sorry, i'm not sure what i was thinking. a 33 is about a 6 or 7 depending on the test. you can look at the scaled scores yourself if you go to e-mcat.com, log in, click on the "how is the mcat scored" and scroll down
