What was your most recent MCAT score?

We will use this as the starting point for your assessment.

Built for people who have taken the MCAT before

A first score is a starting point, not a verdict. This calculator is calibrated against 800 past Pillar Prep Retaker Course students, so the read you get is grounded in real outcomes, not wishful thinking.

Should you retake?

We weigh your score against the median at the schools you are targeting, alongside your GPA and timeline, and give you a plain answer with the reasoning behind it.

Or apply with the score you have?

Sometimes the honest answer is do not retake. When your score already clears the bar, or when your GPA or school list is the real lever, we tell you that instead of selling you a second attempt.

What would a retake take?

If a retake is the move, we show what one tends to be worth for Retakers like you, the weeks it takes, and the honest next step to find out whether your gap is the fixable kind.

Ready for the plan behind the verdict?

The Retaker Course turns the decision to retake into a personalized study plan, with 1,900+ practice questions, Trap Training, and the Retaker Flywheel. Everything a Retaker needs to improve, built by people who have been where you are.
