How to read an MCAT percentile
Your percentile rank is the share of scores equal to or lower than yours, so a 512 at the 84th percentile means 84% of scores were 512 or lower. The AAMC recalculates the ranks every May 1 from the three most recent testing years, so the same score can shift by a point from one year to the next. From the 2025 to the 2026 table, no total score moved by more than 1.
How the 118 to 132 section scale and 472 to 528 total work is on the AAMC's The MCAT Exam Score Scale page.
