Good score on the Bio Exam?

Hey guys,

Just wondering, what exactly is a good score on the Bio exam? As in, what do the guys who get 50s or high 40s get?

I've been doing practice exams, and i've gotten consistant 64s to 70s depending upon the examinet (about a 64 if the examiner's harsh, about 69 to 70 if the examiner's a bit more lenient). Is that good? I really want to get over 70. Any tips in particular?

Cheers,

Drcrowthorne.

70+ is very good.

i got 56% on my first practice exam, without knowing all the content and about ~15 more to do
would this score be good? or bad?

70+ will net you a 50, if the A+ cut off is 60.

Don't focus so much on the score at the moment though, just focus on filling in the gaps of your knowledge. Some people get too ahead of themselves when they're doing practise exams.
