Compare percentage-correct practice results across four MCAT study areas to find the largest gap to your own target.
Use similar practice sets
Use fresh, timed sets of comparable difficulty. Repeated questions can inflate accuracy through memory. Keep provider, timing and question-count details next to each section result.
How the calculation works
Largest gap = max(user target − lowest entered section accuracy, 0). Equal-section average = sum of four section accuracies ÷ 4. Spread = highest accuracy − lowest accuracy. The average weights sections equally, not by question count.
A worked example
Practice accuracies of 70%, 62%, 76% and 80% average 72%. Against an 80% practice target, the largest gap is 18 percentage points in the 62% section. The spread is also 18 points.
Investigate the lowest section
Split mistakes into content gaps, reasoning and time pressure before assigning more hours. Equal section averages are convenient summaries, but a short section sample is less stable than a large one. Retest after focused work rather than treating this result as a diagnosis.
What the result leaves out
This does not convert raw marks to MCAT scaled scores or percentiles. Practice accuracy depends on question difficulty and source. Actual exam scores require the official scoring process; no official conversion is inferred.

The defaults are constructed examples, not market benchmarks. Keep a copy of the records and assumptions behind your result so you can repeat the comparison after the next reporting period.
