Free MCAT Retake Decision Tool

Should you retake the MCAT?

Your score, your target and your test date. It works out whether the retake fits the time you have, and how many more medical schools the new score reaches.

1

How many times have you taken the MCAT?

Attempts count against AAMC limits, and a second flat score tells us more than any answer you could give us further down.

2

Your most recent score

The one from your latest sitting. Section scores are optional. Add them and we can tell you which section your cheapest points are in.

Your total
3

Your target, and where you are applying

The score your school list asks for, and which kind of school that list holds.

4

What went wrong last time

Pick everything that applies. This changes the answer more than any other field, because a score that never got the hours and a score that stalled despite them need completely different retakes.

Tick as many as apply

5

Your time

A retake is bought in weeks. These decide whether you can afford it.
