I took the Mcat and I'm curious to how the Mcat compares to boards. What Mcat equivalent score would you need to be able to pass boards?
I like the 3,3,3 rule for boards study. Part I study time is 3 months, Part II is 3 weeks and part III is 3 days.
If you are accepted into podiatry school you are expected to pass boards. There is no way to compare the MCAT to boards. These two exams are completely different. Different style of test and different subjects. Once you get into pod school you can forget about the MCAT.
Speaking for my school only, those who had very poor MCAT scores (<20) were the ones who failed boards. There is probably a correlation in that people who typically do not perform well on high pressure standardized tests will struggle with passing boards.

If you study you live if you keep up ****ty study habits you drowned.I got a 494 on the Mcat so where does that place me? At a 21? Be honest
Yall Got Any More OfIf you study you live if you keep up ****ty study habits you drowned.
Considering the pathetic scores podiatry schools accept on the MCAT I didn't really have any pressure when I took my mine. Failing boards means possibly getting kicked out of school after 2 years of effort. That to me was more stressful. But regardless taking any exam like this is difficult and some people struggle to perform under pressure.Thanks for this. I asked about the correlation in another thread!
Pass / Fail is not as high pressure as the MCAT where there are actual numbers. If passing is set at maybe 65% you just have to get the bare minimum -- 65% -- and you're ok. No one will know whether I passed with 65 and you passed with 98. MCAT has more pressure because even before the exam you access your GPA and other things and calculate what score range you'll need to hit to have a good chance at acceptance

I didn't exactly follow what you said
Studying hard=good grades.
Not Studying=failing.
Not latin.
Most of the people on this thread haven't taken the board exam or aren't even in pod school yet.So AKA if I keep up those study habits from my 494 Mcat then I'm not passing. Fantastic
There's a new rule going into effect next year that only people who scored an EVEN number on their MCAT can sit for boards. The people that scored an odd number just have to drop out of school
