Help please T__T

Hi everyone, this is my first post :D

For Exam 9 (from MedEntry) I was very lucky to obtain these scores:
Section 1- 42/44
Section 2- 29/40
Section 3- 36/38

I was quite happy with it but now I'm worrying that these scores are not realistic. Someone was telling me that exam 9 is the easiest exam that was produced from MedEntry.
Also, I did another test and the results weren't as great as the ones above.  :-\
My scores are constantly fluctuating. The range is normally from 80-100%. It is making me worry!
I'm getting really nervous because it's only few days till the exam. I don't know if I can improve but even if there is a slightest chance, I would love to improve on section 2.
Can you suggest me any tips??

Also, does anyone know which exam is the most "ideal" UMAT exam?

And what should I do now? Should I do more exams or re-do exams? I don't know what to do.  :'(
I would appreciate your help :)

Yep, Exam 9 is by far the easiest, I got 44/44 for Section 1 on that Exam.

Everyone constantly fluctuates - 80%+ is a very good range - I personally didn't consistently get 80%+

You've actually got a few weeks not days :P

Tips? Well - rest :P

Is this a joke or not?  80%+ is an outstanding result.

lol of course, I'm not joking.
I just want to do well.
I guess I'm the kind of person who would cry over getting a 99% when I lose a mark for making a silly mistake. haha

From your typical hardcore Asian student :3

I think you have nothing to worry about if you're getting those scores, I consider myself lucky to even get 70% average for each section...

Yeah, on average 80%+ is very good

Yes I mean 80% not Percentile - I found that the percentile rankings fluctuated a lot but generally I got 90th+ percentiles for MedEntry

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.

I wouldn't really rely on MedEntry percentiles for S2 though. An MHS boy last year used to get 90th percentiles for S2 but got 20th percentile on the actual day.

It really just boils down to state of mind on the day.

That's because Medentry's Section 2 is wrong haha. Hence in my post I only mentioned Sections 1 and 3 :)
