Quick Answer
A 1-9 AAMC PREview score tells you where your performance falls on the AAMC's scaled score range. Scores near the middle suggest typical alignment with the consensus key, while higher scores suggest stronger alignment.
The latest AAMC percentile summary available at PrepTrack's May 2026 refresh listed these percentile ranks:
| PREview score | Percentile rank |
|---|---|
| 1 | 4th percentile |
| 2 | 9th percentile |
| 3 | 18th percentile |
| 4 | 30th percentile |
| 5 | 47th percentile |
| 6 | 67th percentile |
| 7 | 87th percentile |
| 8 | 96th percentile |
| 9 | 100th percentile |
Because AAMC says percentile ranks are updated and publicly posted each May, applicants should check AAMC for the newest posted table before making final decisions.
The other important detail is the confidence band. AAMC PREview score reports include a confidence band of plus or minus 1 point. In practical terms, a 6 and a 7 are meaningfully different as reported scores, but you should not treat every one-point gap as a precise measurement of two applicants' professionalism.
