How I Aced the AAMC Preview Exam: Score 7+

The AAMC PREview exam is a critical component to medical school admissions. This is especially true for medical schools like UCLA Geffen, UC Davis, the University of Massachusetts (UMass), Mercer University, Saint Louis University (SLU), and others. A lot of applicants from California specifically write the AAMC PREview due to the sheer number of schools in California which require the test as part of the admissions process. Some other schools don't necessarily look at the PREview for admissions, but recommend taking it or use it for a research-only basis.

The test is similar to the CASPer but it is in a multiple choice format instead of a text field or video response format. There are 186 items or sub-questions in total across the 75 minute test which spans 30 scenarios.

A great score is considered 7-9 and a good score is 6. These are score that you should be aiming for if you are applying to a medical school which requires the AAMC PREview (aamc preview) as part of its admissions process.

Thank you so much for posting this! 😁

I was getting a ton wrong on the practice problems and then watched this and everything clicked. Then I took the exam the same day and got a 7! Thanks for the advice! 😄

Thank you for touching on the definitions of the scale. That massively changes the way I would answer!

Preview doesnt matter. Crazy saying "i got accepted to my dream schools BECAUSE i got a good score on preview". There are dozens of people on reddit posts alone saying they got 1/9 on preview and getting accepted to schools that REQUIRE preview.

Is there a percentile graph available somewhere or a range chart if we’re in between numerical scores??
