Self assesment scoring vs MCAT score

For those that have taken the AAMC self-assesments...is the % correct vs the average % represented in your test scores?

The average test taker scores a 25...So if you scored around average on all the assesments, does that mean you can expect a 25 on the real thing?

Yes, I believe so.

On the Physics and Chemistry self-assessments, I scored 22% above average on each. So I calculated my projected score as: 25 + 0.22(25) = 30-31. Divide by 3, and that's about a 10 per section.

So far, on all the AAMCs I've taken I've consistently scored 10-12 (mostly 11s) on the PS.

Do not freak out if you score below what you would like. Use them to identify your weaknesses and address them appropriately.

If you dont study and try to fix weak spots then yes u will end up with an average score. The self assessment is meant to diagnose weak subject areas and has very little to no correlation to final mcat scores. the self assessments are made up of questions from old, retired practice mcats and should be used to practice reading and interpreting passages on screen, not to predict scores.

Have you taking the self assesments and practice AAMC tests? Did you not see a correlation? I'm interested in people's personal experiences.
