Guys can anyone explain to me the score report, now if it has an asterisk, what exactly does that mean, it says that means it goes beyond the scale, so...???? I am trying to focus on my weak points from my scorereport, so if someone could please explain. Also what kind of material is exactly comprised under nutrition, like i know vitamins and stuff, but wat else?? Thanx

Ah the dreaded nutrition. It was supposedly my weakest subject, but I don't recall a single nutrition question. All asterisk means is like you said, the range of your score in that field is beyond the scale shown. So if you asterisk is on a bar going against the right side edge, your "range" (is this standard deviation? SEM? I don't know) goes over. I have no idea how they calculate that. I think certain questions are assigned various subject areas. As for what it means to us ... just that that area is relatively better or worse than we might otherwise believe from the displayed range of the score.

Sorry but one more question, so basically lets say in anatomy, i had an asterisk all the way on the left, with nothing else, no bar nothing, just one asterisk under lower performance, what would that exactly mean???
