stats about practice exam and drills

[Teen]

Guys ,when you did the practice exams and the drills from the med entry or other sources .What was your average % for each  of the sections.
So , I get an idea about my performances

For medentry i'll be honest

Sec 1: 60%-70%ile
Sec 2: 90%+
Sec 3: Usually around 40%ile

Well, I've been carefully collecting my stat's in MedEntry so far lol. I don't have percentiles, these are raw scores.

For the drills;
S1: 85.4%
S2: 70.2%
S3: 78.6%

For the exams;
S1: 68.2%
S2: 76.2%
S3: 63.2%
And my overall average for the exams is 69.2%
Quite probably a bit biased since for the first few exams I had no idea what I was doing lol.
But as my strategies improved I've gotten up to around 75% overall in the exams. Hope it's good enough xD

There's honestly no point in collecting percentages as stats because if it's an easy exam, there's no point getting 80% for example, as the top students will be getting much higher. On the other hand, on a hard exam 80% is quite good.

So what I'm saying is, there's really no point collating percentage data as it doesn't tell you at all where you are at or how you are going.

Try and get the percentiles, they're not great, but they are more accurate than collations of raw percentages for drills and exams.

Percentiles fluctuate so much, especially S2

Yeah, that's because no one has any idea what they're doing Percentiles are based on your performances against others (ie. people who have sat that Medentry exam), if Medentry has got S2 training wrong (which they do have), then there would be a fluctuation of results as the students have no idea what they are doing. Hence the fluctuations in most people's results.
