Medify SJT flawed banding/marking system anybody else?

I have been consistently scoring quite high on Medify SJT mocks to find I keep getting band 3 and band 4. Using approximations of raw-marks to bands available at Medicmind: https://www.medicmind.co.uk/medicine-ucas-guide/2022-ucat-conversion-table-to-make-sense-of-your-raw-scores/
There is an obvious discrepancy that I can't seem to ignore and it makes me stressed every time on whether I'm actually doing good in SJT for the stage I'm in or if I'm very far behind and the high marks are simply because Medify is much easier than the real thing.
My UCAT is exactly 2 weeks away, am I underprepared or is this good so far?

Here are examples of my mock scores and the band I was given by Medify as well as the band I SHOULD be in according to Medicmind's raw mark conversion.

My results:

SJT Medify Mock 1, 45/69 Band 3, (Medicmind Band 2)
SJT Medify Mock 2, 44/69 Band 4, (Medicmind Band 2)
SJT Medify Mock 3, 44.5/69 Band 3, (Medicmind Band 2)
SJT Medify Mock 4, 48/69 Band 3, (Medicmind Band 2)
SJT Medify Mock 5, 49.5/69 Band 3, (Medicmind Band 2)

All depends on how well the other 999 applicants did on the mock . Some people redo them so there’s that
