How Are MOR and MIRKAM Scores Calculated?

Scores in each of the system’s components range from 150 to 250. The mean score is 200, with a standard deviation of 20.

The scores in the MOR and MIRKAM arrays are calculated relative to the population of examinees in each year, and they reflect the candidate’s ranking relative to other candidates. Low scores do not necessarily mean that the candidate is unsuitable for medical school, but only that the candidate’s ranking is lower than that of other candidates. It is important to remember that the population of candidates for medical school is extremely highly skilled, and every year many excellent candidates are rejected.
