The MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) is scored on a scale ranging from 472 to 528, with a midpoint of 500. The total score is the sum of the scores from each of the four sections: Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems, Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills, Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems, and Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior. Each section is scored between 118 and 132, with the mean and median at 125. A good MCAT score is generally considered to be 511 or higher, with no section score below 127. However, the average MCAT score for students admitted to an MD program in the United States in 2021-2022 is between 511 and 512, with an average GPA of 3.74.
