TEAS V Results

[mrkim]

Ok I am wondering if I should retake this exam. I was feeling pretty confident about it until I woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed and my brain was just not working properly. On my practice tests I finished each section multiple times with plenty of time to spare. However this morning I got cut off on the math portion by like 5 questions. I felt pretty bad afterwards and thought I did a lot worse than I did. Still not too happy with my results:

How is the national mean lower than the mean in any single section?

[mrkim]

To my understanding the national and program mean under the adjusted individual score is the national and program mean for adjusted individual score (the average of what everyone else scored on their adjusted individual score). The national and program % listed under each section is my percentile rank compared to others in the nation and my program. example since I under reading i got Nat 95% this translates to me ranking 95th percentile (I did better than 94% of students, 5% of students did better than me, and 1% did the same for a total of 100%). Please correct me if I am interpreting this data incorrectly.
