Quick Answer
AAMC PREview scores are reported on a 1-9 scale. Percentile ranks explain where each score point falls compared with other test takers in the AAMC reference group.
The latest AAMC percentile summary available at our May 2026 refresh was labeled for May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026, with N = 65,012. Because that label ends before this article date, applicants should treat it as the latest AAMC summary available at refresh, not as a guarantee that no newer table has been posted. AAMC says percentile ranks are updated and publicly posted each May, so check AAMC directly before making a final score interpretation.
In that available summary, the percentiles were:
| PREview score | Percentile rank |
|---|---|
| 1 | 4th |
| 2 | 9th |
| 3 | 18th |
| 4 | 30th |
| 5 | 47th |
| 6 | 67th |
| 7 | 87th |
| 8 | 96th |
| 9 | 100th |
The practical takeaway: score points are not evenly spaced by percentile. Moving from a 5 to a 6 is not the same percentile movement as moving from an 8 to a 9.
