In one test i get 76%, followed 41%, followed by 68%, then 54%... I'm just all over the place!
Anyone else experience this when doing UW?!!!
(I remember when doing Kaplan Qbank for Step 1, my scores would ALWAYS be within +/- 5-10% of one-another...but here they range sometimes by 30%!!)

Yes , I did experience that big time while doing UW , it 's because test scores fluctuates depend on the level of difficulty of the related block ( i,e if in this block where you score 54% , the average score was 50 % , that means it 's not that bad because you are still above the average )
I must accept that UW has a lot of impossible questions (those they go like ........ only 10 % of people got this question right ) If are unlucky enough several might come just in one block screwing your score up , so please do not get disturbed by that score fluctuation . If you are getting some 60 even 70s that means you are doing GREAT . Just use it as a learning tool and make sure you are taking notes of the highest yield of them
Good Luck !

Tx Doc_clotaire! your post made me feel a lot better! It was getting a little frustrating having my scores fluctuate so much.

completely agree- I also found that my scores varied- UW for all the hype has some idiotic Qs mixed in there which I hope they sort out- the problem is that some of Qs are misleading and sometimes there are negatively worded Qs which you get wrong because you wouldnt expect them to be negatively worded
Also the other thing I am not sure about is the percentages after each Q- sometimes I wonder with some super hard qs that if really 40-50% of people got it right the first time- I guess the statistics also include people doing the same Qs for 10 times till they know even the answer choices by heart 
So dont let it bother you that 40% of students actually got the right answer to a question that you thought was very tough!
