March 7 MCAT Scores Posted
Scores for test-takers who sat the MCAT on March 7 have been released and examinees are being pointed to the AAMC portal to check results. Students and advisors are using these score releases as early benchmarks for pacing and practice adjustments. (x.com)
A month after the March 7 Medical College Admission Test, scores are now live, and the Association of American Medical Colleges says that exam date was scheduled to release on April 7, with scores posted by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time in the official portal. That wait is built into the test on purpose. The Association of American Medical Colleges says Medical College Admission Test scores are scaled and equated across different exam forms, so a March 7 score is meant to mean the same thing as a score from January or June. The number students see is not a raw count of right answers. The Association of American Medical Colleges reports each of the four sections on a 118 to 132 scale, then adds them into a total score that runs from 472 to 528, with 500 as the midpoint. The score report also shows a percentile rank, which works like a class standing across the country. The Association of American Medical Colleges says that percentile tells you what share of test takers earned the same score or lower, not how you ranked only against people in your March 7 room. Those percentile ranks are about to shift for everyone. The Association of American Medical Colleges updates them every May 1 using the most recent three testing years, so a score released in early April 2026 is landing just weeks before the next percentile table goes live. That is why advisers treat an early spring release as more than a single number. An April score gives applicants time to decide whether to keep building a 2026 application, change a study plan before another test date, or move a retake before later score release deadlines arrive. The calendar gets tight fast after this. The next 2026 test date after March 7 was March 20, and that score release is set for April 21, while April 10 testers are scheduled to get results on May 12. For students refreshing the portal today, the useful detail is simple: the score report is the same document medical schools will read. The Association of American Medical Colleges says it includes section scores, total score, percentile ranks, and confidence information, so the first look students get is also the version admissions committees use.
