I know it's between 1-30, but is it curved like the ACT (I couldn't think of anything else). Or is it scaled exactly the same each time?

Bump :cry:

No one can help me? :cry:

The questions that most people miss will give you slightly more points than the easier questions. It may not be number you got right, but if you answer all the harder questions right. Then your score may be boosted up a bit higher than someone else.

Also biology is 40% of your TS and chemistries are 60%.

Oh thanks 🙂
So calculating my TS by adding up the 3 and dividing them by 3 is wrong then right?

[16jpatel]

Here is what is found at the bottom of my score report:



According to this, you cannot calculate the TS by yourself because you will have no idea how many total you got wrong or right on the real thing. Of course, I guess if you're doing a practice exam, you would be able to.

AA is just the average of all minus PAT.

Also, I don't believe that it is curved like the MCAT because we get out scores back immediately. The reason the MCAT takes 1 month to get back is because they need to standardize it and curve it against the test takers of that day.

Ok thanks! I was wondering how to calculate my practice score exam.

Don't worry too much about practice test scores

K I won't 🙂

Also I had another question.
I applied on the 20 of June, but I am not sure what batch. And I still have to pay one supplemented fee. Am I really late, or am I still in the batch that I applies in?

so PAT is not avg in at all?
