Do people think this is accurate? It seems like a close shave between a 58% = 205 and 65% = 233. I mean, the percents aren't that far apart but the actual score is a huge difference.

Anyone agree or disagree with these figures?

that might be because of how much people can "pick up" from UW? therefore, score correlations with over 2000 questions prolly isn't accurate.

Hey I have a question for those of you who are using UW? I have completed about 25% of UW and have averaged 55% thus far. What is blowing my mind is that my percentile is still around 35 or so. Is everyone on UW a genius or am I just a *******? From some of the other threads I got the impression that a 55% is not so bad and will land you at least above a 200. What's up with that?

Even if you score 100% you will probably be in the 96-98 percentile....I guess there is something wrong in the percentile thing????

Don't worry, I am in the same situation ...I am around 50-60% now...
