What is considered a decent score on the medentry drills?

What is the rule of thumb? For people who have sat the UMAT, what is a par score on the UMAT drills which would indicate a decent score (90+percentile) on the actual UMAT? 
Its quite difficult to judge where I am and it would be good to have an idea of how I am progressing :P
hope you guys understand what I mean :)
Thanks.

Seven.

Why seven? Not really sure, it's a lucky number.

If you are getting above 80 percentile consistently i would say that you have a good chance of getting a good score in the actual umat, because remember the medentry cohort is usually stronger than the entire umat cohort - (Many people don't even study for umat).

Keep in mind that a consistent 80%ile in Section 2 on MedEntry doesn't mean much :) Most people find that it is quite different to the actual UMAT (myself included)

hmm,
well from memory i was getting around 12-17/20 on the section 1's
7-15/15 on the seciton 2's (depending on which type of drill it was)
and section 3 drills were like i did really bad 4/15 ?

I ended up with 69%ile on the UMAT, but there was literally no correlation between my UMAT scores and Medentry Scores (s.3 ended up being my highest with a 61)
whilst section 1 my favourite ended up being my lowest at 51

so yeah.. on the medentry exams though my s.1 percentiles ranged from 60-80
s.2 like 50~
and s.3 like 30~

so assuming i was consistent, you can pair up the drills vs exam

did you find yourselves improving from jan to july gradually or more immediately?
right now, i seem to getting better scores, mark by mark :P
what would mark would you consider on the medentry exams and drills to correspond to a 90 percentile on the actual UMAT?
i know i have asked this already, but an estimate would be good :)

definitely improved for section 1, at first i was getting so frustrated/lazy that i'd spend 30 minutes and then just give up, getting like 5/20

s.2 no improvement
s.3 mild improvement (didn't really do it 'properly' i guess)
really hard to say what mark on medentry exams and drills. i emailed them in regards to exams and they said to plus 20%ile. so a 70%ile on medentry exam roughly is a 90%ile on the UMAT i guess.
also, seeing that it's really early at this stage, your percentiles on the exams will get bumped up and down a lot, so they may be low or really hgigh, but it won't be that accurate until closer to the UMAT
