They're the scores for the writing section.

The essays on the MCAT are scored from M to T, with T being the best score.

It's from J to T

The writing section is so worthless(unless you're in canada) they score it with letters.

It's a test to see if your heart is working correctly. 😀

Ventricular depolarization 👍

Q = quite good, R = really good, T = TAA DAAA, you goin' to med school!!

The method is quite scientific and complicated ... I hope this helps.

it's like a Freudian slip: J/K/L means "good luck recovering from this score"

M is the first big lump of people at the 25th percentile, anyways

Yes. Each essay is given a number score from 1-6. The two essay scores combined are then given a letter from J (lowest) to T (highest). The national median is at O or P I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's the score for the writing section, or as some like to refer to it, the random letter generator.
