Hey everyone , I don't know if this 'll help anyone but just wanted to leave it here.. It looks like the curve of uwsa is kinda changed , because I remember reading about cumulative 84% = 265/800 , but I completed UWSA-1 today and got 760 = 262 with my block score being 86%/80%/93%/84%
 
I've heard mixed things about the scoring for this. One person I know who got 265s on both of them and got a 259 on the real thing. A friend of mine got a 260 on the UWSA and got a 240 on her real thing. I got a 256 and 250 on the UWSAs and got a 252 on my real thing; and not a single one of the 10+ NBMEs I took (yes, I took every NBME) launched me into the 250s, yet I still scored in the 250s on the real thing. For some people it overpredicts anywhere from 5-20 points. In my case, it was the most accurate, but if you compare it to my NBME average, it overpredicts. So one has to really take it with a grain of salt.
