Don't worry about the raw scores, these are meaningless. Your PD will focus on your national percentile as it compares to your peer group. Your PD can also use these scores to rank you against your fellow residents at your program.

Don't blow this first test off! PD's can penalize a poor performance by placing you on academic probation, which you will have to disclose on possible future fellowship applications and even hospital credentialling applications. Residents have also been fired for consecutive poor performance on ITE's.

A poor performance trend tends to indicate a possible failure on the written boards, which reflects poorly on the overall educational experience at any given program. Rather than taking a risk by letting a resident who has a sh*tty ITE track record, PD's will simple ****-can you before giving you the chance to fail the written on their watch.

The night before an exam is probably the wrong time to be warning someone they shouldn't blow an exam.
