How was your timing? Did you finish w/ time to spare? If so, consider taking one or two 3-5 minutes break during each section. A friend gave me that advice and it seemed to be very helpful today. Got a 149, but stamina felt good (had never done more than 20 or so questions in a row).lakers180 wrote:did anybody find the afternoon much harder than the morning?

I think fatigue had a little bit to do with it too was feeling real tired after lunch and kinda felt my eyes glazing over some of the questions in the middle. going to have to do some stamina adaptibar sessions before the real thing i think.
Is there a way to tell how you scored in the morning session versus the afternoon session from just entering your sheet into the website? I have my score and the section breakdown, but don't see morning v. afternoon separated anywhere. I'm far too lazy to score the sheet by hand to figure it out.RaceJudicata wrote:How was your timing?

Granted, you still did really well so I wouldn't be too concerned.
Yeah, there's plenty of time! This is about average for right now, right? Don't let the selection bias of those posting scores get to you We still have almost all of July left!Young Marino wrote:Yea I'm feeling terrible about this 109 raw score I got on this simulated mbe.

I went 69 in the morning and 73 in the afternoon. I felt like parts of the afternoon were harder. You have nothing to worry about though. 85/100 is insanely goodlakers180 wrote:did anybody find the afternoon much harder than the morning?

We have the same exact score and I too felt sleepy after my meal. Hoping that on the real day the adrenaline keeps that from happeninglakers180 wrote:did anybody find the afternoon much harder than the morning?

I think that it will continue to adjust over the coming few days as more and more people enter their scores.vivala wrote:Are these the final percentiles? My raw score has me way lower than I thought it would based on past averages...
It's a bit confusing, to be honest. The simulated exam video indicated that the average score was 113 last year (while the response prompt online states that it was 118). The current percentiles would indicate an average score probably in the 120s.vivala wrote:Are these the final percentiles?

This. Most people I know haven't graded there's yet. I know quite a few that are also days behind. Trust the process.Carson18 wrote:I think that it will continue to adjust over the coming few days as more and more people enter their scores.vivala wrote:Are these the final percentiles?

What percentile rank does that put you at?sk1130 wrote:Got a 119 on the simulated MBE....feeling very defeated

On your assignments, enter the assignment press continue or w/e and then it'll have a bubble sheet prompt thing and you just enter them there.TheWalrus wrote:Where are you supposed to enter your score?
126 for me as well. The analysis page says that scales to a 143 for reference. Seems like a much bigger jump than I've been reading on here.FormerChild wrote:On your assignments, enter the assignment press continue or w/e and then it'll have a bubble sheet prompt thing and you just enter them there.TheWalrus wrote:Where are you supposed to enter your score?
I got a 126 and am in the 58% percentile. Just did absolutely terrible on criminal law and civil procedure. I wouldn't be overly concerned for anyone who isn't happy with scores, let the little scare reignite the fire under your a** to finish strong. There's time left and after this test, coupled with percentiles from other practice questions, you've literally got a blueprint of where to focus your attention to improve significantly.
58th percentile indicates that the median score is currently at or about 125. That's notably higher than previous years (I have seen nothing that indicates that it has been higher than 118), so unless this exam was considerably easier than previous years, then I wouldn't worry about the percentiles for now.FormerChild wrote:On your assignments, enter the assignment press continue or w/e and then it'll have a bubble sheet prompt thing and you just enter them there.TheWalrus wrote:Where are you supposed to enter your score?

Well. 126 on the actual MBE that is.DCESQ wrote:126 for me as well. The analysis page says that scales to a 143 for reference.
