New MCAT --> percentile --> old MCAT
The MSAR has old MCAT scores, and it'll be a few years before people on SDN start intuitively comparing new MCAT scores so just convert it

What I meant from my last post is that you take whatever section you're looking at and compare it with the same section on the old MCAT. No adding, no calculations whatsoever.
A 130 on CARS is the 97th percentile (from the chart). The 97th percentile of VR puts you just below a 12 (from the other chart). That's it. You can also do that same thing with your overall score using the top chart of both documents. 514 = 91st percentile = 33

Easiest way is to simply convert total to percentile and compare it to percentile on old exam. I'm not sure how valuable converting individual scores will be, as I think adcoms will compare the composite only (regardless of the new MCAT having a new section). Btw, a competitive MD score is probably 509 and greater, competitive DO is probably 503 and greater.
