Yes so I came out of my exam feeling very poor in regards to the PS section. (I predicted an 8-9 even though I had been scoring mostly 10s and 11s on practice exams) It was very calculation heavy which as you know eats up a lot of time, so when I went back to do all the long calculation problems at the end there were probably 5 or 6 were I had to just round the numbers to really easy values and hope one of the 4 answer choices was somewhere near what I got, a few times there was a good answer choice, a couple times there was not so I just filled a random bubble in. There were also 2-3 problems where I didnt know the equation so I just kind of made one up incorporating the given values and hoped that I multiplied and divided the right things, but chances are I got all of these ones wrong. I thought there was no way I didnt come out of that section with any less than 15 problems wrong and any score higher than a 9, yet somehow I got a 12. I have no clue how that happened, but just know that there is hope! for the other two sections, I felt a lot less insecure, yet go figure, I got lower scores on these sections (10 on verbal, 11 on bio).
So I think my experience and many others similar to mine just go to show that you can rarely (dare I say never) accurately predict how you did on all 3 sections, and if you are like me, you will in fact have gotten the exact opposite of what you predicted as your best and worst sections.
However, there is something to be said for overall score, in that most people do score somewhere around their practice test avg (unless they have severe test anxiety or only took 1 or 2 practice exams). I averaged 30 on my AAMCs and 32 on my Kaplans and got a 33 on the real thing.
