Shortened MCAT Score Conversion Calculator

Find out what your MCAT score converts to in the shortened AAMC practice exams!

Note: Beginning in January 21, 2021, the MCAT exam returned to regular length. The below calculator was used only during the time period while the exam was shortened due to an increased number of examinations on the same day. The below can be used as reference, but is no longer applicable today.


Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the AAMC shortened the MCAT exam for all students taking the exam from May 29 to September 28, 2020. In addition, the MCAT will be offered at three different times (6:30 AM, 12:15 PM, and 6:00 PM) on each test date. The exam will now be 5 hours and 45 minutes. Examinees will still be tested on content from all four sections of the exam, and will still be scored from 472 to 528.

Because the number of questions in each section has to been reduced, students should plan on taking the AAMC Practice Exams in the same shortened format. Below are the questions you can skip from the AAMC full-length practice exam to simulate the shortened exam. Then just slide to the number of correct answers you received, and we’ll share your simulated score!
