The average MCAT score each year is somewhere around a 24 (8 in each section). A good (competitive at most MD schools) score is around 30 and a stellar score is somewhere above a 34 to 36 (competitive at the top medical schools in the country). A score of 36 or better would put you in the top 2% of the country.
MCAT Verbal is scored between a 1 and a 15 - 1 is the lowest score and 15 is the highest score. On the whole, the lowest MCAT score a student can score is 3 while 45 is the highest. Most medical institutes look for a combined MCAT score of 30 at least.
