Has anyone looked at these tables?
The average score for the April '06 administration of the MCAT was 25.6, much higher than the combined averages for the last three years (24.7, 24.6, and 24.7). Does this mean that the August '06 MCAT will be curved more harshly? How will scores from other administrations of the test be compared to this one, seeing as how the percentiles corresponding to the scores are now somewhat different?
BTW, I apologize for the use of the word "inflated" since some might interpret it to mean that those who scored well this time around didn't deserve it and that is hardly what I mean. I'm sure part of the reason the scores were higher this time around was that there were some really smart, hard working individuals who took the test.
