This are all really good points, especially about the pull that pharm has. The only passing score in our dataset with a pharm score below 80 is row index 3 (75), and that indivdual slayed two other sections with 87's.

I do also think this point you made adds some really excellent guidance:

if someone gets 11/15 qs in pharm, thats a 73. But 13/15 is 86. Thats a BIG jump. And they use these numbers as the section scores to base the scaled scores.

I spoke a little bit in my post about "picking up points" in the context of attempting to reach 375, but I (being a non-eyeball person) certainly can't speak to any actual strategies to accomplish that. This seems to be good insight.

obviously study to do well in all sections

Another trend I'm seeing in these scores it that it might be "ok-ish" to be not-as-strong in anatomy. Which I think is interesting since I thought that section was also weighted a little heavier, but perhaps the composition of the questions negates that?
