Quick Answer
A reasonable shorthand is that the average AAMC PREview score range is around 5-6 based on the latest AAMC percentile summary available at our May 2026 refresh. Applicants should not treat 6 as a universal cutoff or 5 as a failure. The percentile table shows distribution, not admissions destiny.
The more practical question is how your score fits your school list. A school that requires AAMC PREview may not consider your application complete until it receives a score. A school that recommends PREview may allow applicants to submit with or without one. A school exploring PREview for future use may view scores for evaluation or research without using them to evaluate applicants for the current year.
