I did my first "old papers" test this morning (just anatomy for now). I had 77 correct answers out of 100. Does it mean that in the real test my score would by 77 in that subject?. Am I right or do they calculate the score some other way? Thanks....

Believe me , the real test is something else !!

That is not how u calculate..actually each paper has a score conversion depending on how everyone has performed in that particular exam.
This has been discussed before on this forum so jus search for it...I think there is a link too in the Univ of Illinois website abt score conversion for a particular paper.
I think in most papers a score of 80 and above was converted to the real score in 90's..but its differs from paper to paper.

You are right....it is in the "links of interest" sticky. I found a raw score of 77 on anatomy would be around 93. Thanks again....That makes me feel much better now.... 🙂
