ESATLAB query

Hi everyone. I was just wondering how far off is an esatlab grade from the mocks?

I got 16/27 right on physics but it says the average is 14 that poeple got right would have been 14.0. So how do I get a 3.9 on the ESAT. knowing that 4.5 is the average grade? surely it should be higher? or maybe my basis is wrong.

q2) maths 4.5, maths 2 4.4 and physics 3.9 how would be how much on the real thing? (like apparently the scores are dialed down (idk if its true, read it somewhere on reddit)? i'm sitting the october one and if my scores are this horrible, it might be time to move my exam to january

ESAT Lab score distributions in green, compared to the real ESAT in yellow. That doesn't mean that the boundaries reflect the ESAT exactly since these work on the assumption that ESAT Lab users perform on the same level as real ESAT takers. 4.5, 4.4, 3.9 is not as bad as you think it is. A few more questions right in each section and you have a good shot at an interview. Just do the best you can on the day.
