OH damn I got High 60 to mid 70% ish....is this real bad??

Building on what drfatcat (meow :3) said, I got 78% for this exam (Medentry Exam 9)
and an overall 71% average for all the Medentry exams (raw score).
I was just wondering if that's a good score if I'm aiming for 90+%ile in the real UMAT?

The percentages mean nothing.

What percentiles did the Medentry thing say you got? If you're consistent (for S1 and 3), you can hope that your real UMAT percentile for those sections will be a bit higher than the Medentry ones.

a "bit" higher? i thought it was a big bit D: ?

"Bit " is really subjective LOL. I said "bit" because no-one can quantify truthfully, but if you think 60%ile or 70%ile -> 100%ile then no.

You need to de-stress haha

LOL

No-one can say "yes" to that, and if they do, they're doing so on minimal evidence. If that statement was true, everyone at ME who gets 80%ile+ (which is a crap load of people) would be getting 100%ile on the UMAT. As each %ile in the UMAT can only hold a certain fixed number of people (don't ask, I have no idea on the figure, it would change every year for sure), the 80%ile -> 100%ile cannot be true just based on that comparison. It may be true for some people, not true for others.

You can't go into the UMAT expecting a nice translation of ME -> UMAT %iles... That's why these questions are so unnecessary imo.

As I said before, DON'T PLAY A NUMBERS GAME, PLAY A "DO THE BEST I CAN" GAME. You'll be fine if you do that, I don't see why everyone seems so worried about all these numbers and stuff.
