Hello,
So I finished UWORLD last week, first time, timed and random, and averaged a 64. After reviewing my notes i took the UWSA today. I scored a 204, and not sure why. My blocks went as follows: 1) 52 (avg 58), 2) 60 (avg 58), 3) 60 (avg 53), 4) 57 (avg 50)............ I clearly did better than the average, minus the first block, but my overall score was just like the average............Plus when I look at my overall breakdown, everything is either borderline or in the higher end (i attached a picture). Why is my score so low? Im taking the real thing in about 5 days, and not sure whether i should be freaked out or not.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Remember this does not include CCS. Make sure you do well on CCS (above borderline towards higher performance) you should be fine.

don't be freaked out. UWSA tends to underestimate your score and sometimes by a lot. I did way better (by 20+ points on the real thing).
