COMLEX individual section scores

So I have my Level 2 coming up SHORTLY & was curious about something.

So when you get your COMLEX scores from the NBOME...they give you your overall score, and then a graphic breakdown of how you did on each section. No 'numbers' are given for each individual section, only a graphic representation.

So at my school...by ordering a transcript, you can actually see the numerical grade you got on each of the sections. So it seems our schools actually get a numerical score for each section, although WE don't...we just get the stupid graph of it. As per the NBOME site...each section has a score range from 9-999.

So my question is...is it actually possible to get a perfect score on one of the sections & score a 999 on one of the sections? Conversely, would it be possible to completely bomb a section & score a 9 on it?

Are these numbers...which represent the high & low of each section actually achievable...or are they basically impossible to get? Or is it basically that 1 person, out of all the test takers for q given test cycle, gets the high & the low, and the rest of us lie somewhere in the middle?

So I contacted NBOME earlier for a section-by-section performance report for exam analysis, and they said there's no such thing and they don't even have records of that. I am curious who did you contact in the school to get such transcript?

My school sent us something similar last year so.... I suspect the person you talked to at the NBOME had no idea what they were talking about.

Yes it is technically possible to get those scores OP. There are people who get 900+ composite scores every year

Do you know if you contact the COM for those transcripts? or contact NBOME?

They came from the school, who said they get them as part of some NBOME data release on student scores
