I'm about a week and a half out from the May 22 test date, and I decided to take a TPR FL to practice more endurance/content review rather than to gauge where I am in terms of prep. I know there's absolutely no baseline for any of these tests, especially the third party exams, so I went into the test without putting much weight on the outcome. However, the scores I received kind of freaked me out...I'm thinking there's some issue with their website because my scores from 3 of the sections are showing up as "118" even though I certainly didn't miss more than half of the questions.

Regardless, I definitely missed a good percentage for each of the 4 sections - if I had to guess, I probably got ~30% of the questions incorrect. When I was going through the questions, they seemed so specific and subjective that I found myself getting frustrated. Is there any reason to worry about this score?

For reference, I was pretty comfortable and confident before taking this TPR exam: ~84% overall raw score on the official AAMC FL. Even though I felt pretty good going into this exam, and I know AAMC FL > TPR, this still has made me worry with so little time before May 22.
 
Which TPR FL was it? The Demo?

You should be able to see the breakdown of your scores on their site. I scored a 502 total, (mostly due to their Psych section being too easy). A few of the questions are debatable at best and flat out wrong at worst
