Hi. In same position as you. But I believe medify scaling is quite harsh. A few people who did the tests last year have said so. Have you tried inputting your raw score of your mocks into the score convertors out there? When I did, the scaling was higher. The true scaling is probably somewhere in the middle between medify and these online tools.

I was getting ~2400 on the Medify mocks last year and got 2850 on the real thing. Not saying it's guaranteed that you'll do way better, but I saw a lot of people saying similar last year as well!

So, have faith :smile:

Hi, thank you so much for this insight and post!
It's hugely motivating to keep going knowing this, as my mock scores are low at the moment, even though I'm doing so many of them.
But hopefully, it'll all pay off on the day of my test.
