In many UW qns, we find the lab values they give are borderline. eg Na+ at 145 or 146, K+ at 3.4, making you wonder if it is significant to the qn being asked, or whether they are messing with your head. Does the real test have such ambiguous info in the qn stem?

Any input is appreciated, thank you.

Don't worry about it paheli. During my exam, I didn't have to open the labs window but I would recommend you to know by heart the cut off values of LDL and maybe PT/PTT. Good luck!
