What Changed From The Old MCAT To The New MCAT

In this post, we'll discuss MCAT score and percentile changes from the old MCAT to the new MCAT and what that means for you.

You may have written the old MCAT and are now planning to write the new one. In that case, you need to know where you stood before in comparison to now.

You can use the old MCAT score to new MCAT score conversion tool above.

Plus below we have some tables to enable you to convert your old MCAT scores to new ones, including the appropriate MCAT percentiles for those scores so you can know your true standing. 

The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) was introduced in 1928. The test has since evolved into the most recent MCAT which was released in 2015. The scoring system changed. The sections changed. The length changed. 

Overall, the MCAT test got harder and more competitive! But don't worry, we've got you covered. After you're done this article and have made note of your new MCAT score conversion, we'll guide you to further steps you can take to get started.
