Was scrolling through the UCAT score discussion from last year and noticed that some people subtracted 20 from their overall score. Why is that?

New here folks:
Here's my results, test taken in Brisbane last week. Clearly there are some very high scores on this forum (awesome results BTW), but from a small subset it's hard to extrapolate a guess at this years percentile being similar or higher than last years. My question for those old hands on here is does my SJ score make an impact on interview selection from your past experiences? I expect to get a really good ATAR of 99.8-99.9 so disappointed with this overall UCAT score. (content removed)
VR 680
DM 720
QR 730
AR 630
SJ 701
Total 2760

Hey guys, just finished my UCAT today. I will be honest, I am not too happy! I really wanted 3000+ but I guess it doesn't really matter. What more can I do 
SCORES
GENERAL THOUGHTS: I am not gonna comment too much on this. Everything ran smoothly at the boxhill test centre where I did my test. We were seated for about 20 minutes and then called up for a photo and security check. We then waited for a invigilator to take us to a room where the computers were.
After AR, I felt I had to completely bombed out the test and basically was in a really shitty mood (pardon my language) for SJT -> Explains this the horrific score lol. I felt my AR sub-test was quite challenging and not as simple as other people describe it to be. Maybe I just got unlucky with my sub-test but I am not a man to whinge! Take it how it is!
VR:
I have no clue how I got 610. VR is my worst section and I thought I would get below 600. I was however very calm during this section and started off really well (in terms of time). I think this really helped. With that said, I did run out of time towards the end so had to guess a couple questions. Not sure about the difficulty but it was pretty much on par with the official resources.
If anyone is wondering, I did read the question before the passage.
DM: WOW! I am extremely happy with this score. DM is not my best sub-test. It is really "on the day" sorta thing for me. However, I managed to get through the entire section and have some time left over which is rare. The 5 drag and drop syllogisms were fairly straightforward, however the logic puzzles were very WEIRD to say the least. Can't say too much in detail though. Otherwise, the probability and venn diagram questions were fairly straightforward.
QR: I have always been a maths guy. However, during the sub-test I couldn't figure out like 3-4 questions. I guessed them and I think I actually got them right lol (only way that explains this score). There was a lot of graphs and tables but I managed to 'skim' it and finish the questions fairly quickly. The official resources are NOT indicative of the difficulty of QR (as said multiple times before). Practice the numpad. Get fast. Get efficient. With those things in place, I believe anyone can get 850+ regardless of their maths abilities.
AR: I don't have much to say here. This is a very disappointing score for me. Not figuring out 2 patterns (10 questions) made me very stressed out as I thought it was over. I did all this practice for nothing. But somehow I didn't get below 700 which is VERY surprising. Official resources were not indicative of the real AR. The real one was much much harder for me personally. Practice SCANS and do it quickly. Most patterns were definitely just SCANS apart from a couple (which again I can't talk about in detail lol).
OVERALL, not bad. I am definitely not the happiest person right now, but what has happened has happened. I think this is a pretty borderline score so I hope I score at least a couple interviews
SJT WAS JUST WEIRD MAN. REAL DAMN WEIRD. NEVER ENCOUNTERED THOSE SCENARIOS BEFORE........ Best of luck with it though!

Can't agree more about SJ (not to throw anyone off).
Some stuff were kind of ambiguous and the practice from mocks didn't seem to help. You really had to put yourself in the scenario and use your intuition.

earplugs are provided if you ask. Face mask is not mandatory but I suggest you wear one (I Wore one). If someone sneezes in the room and you aren't wearing one... YOU GONNA GET PARANOID ASF BOII. So just wear one

ah okay I see haha! Unfortunetly im part of the glasses that fog up gang so i'll see I guess.earplugs are provided if you ask. Face mask is not mandatory but I suggest you wear one (I Wore one).

A mistake often made is putting bonded (BMP) at higher pref than unbonded, thinking it would improve their chance of an offer. Bottom line is it makes NO difference to chances, all that does is even when you qualify for unbonded you'd get bonded.
My advice is always put in your application *both*, with Unbonded higher pref. Even if you have no intention accepting bonded still include it. You might get bonded first then later upgraded to unbonded. If not upgraded you can then decline, better than not getting the bonded offer thus out of the loop for upgrade. Similarly if you need to indicate a campus preference.
Other errors are forgetting to submit the supplemental application directly to the school where required, or ask your school to provide a predicted ATAR for JCU/Curtin, or leaving the JCU direct application to last day to find postoffice closed on weekend. Writing significantly more words than allowed, stretching beyond the provided box, etc.
A rare error but has occurred is giving an incorrect UMAT/UCAT id number. A guy on MSO did that, didn't get an interview invite as expected, contacted the school. By the time the school investigated the reason it was too late to give a proper interview so they interviewed him by phone, which was simpler and he got an offer. So that's a trick you might want to employ if you like to gamble a "sneak in"

DM: WOW! I am extremely happy with this score. DM is not my best sub-test. It is really "on the day" sorta thing for me. However, I managed to get through the entire section and have some time left over which is rare. The 5 drag and drop syllogisms were fairly straightforward, however the logic puzzles were very WEIRD to say the least. Can't say too much in detail though. Otherwise, the probability and venn diagram questions were fairly straightforward.
QR: I have always been a maths guy. However, during the sub-test I couldn't figure out like 3-4 questions. I guessed them and I think I actually got them right lol (only way that explains this score). There was a lot of graphs and tables but I managed to 'skim' it and finish the questions fairly quickly. The official resources are NOT indicative of the difficulty of QR (as said multiple times before). Practice the numpad. Get fast. Get efficient. With those things in place, I believe anyone can get 850+ regardless of their maths abilities.
AR: I don't have much to say here. This is a very disappointing score for me. Not figuring out 2 patterns (10 questions) made me very stressed out as I thought it was over. I did all this practice for nothing. But somehow I didn't get below 700 which is VERY surprising. Official resources were not indicative of the real AR. The real one was much much harder for me personally. Practice SCANS and do it quickly. Most patterns were definitely just SCANS apart from a couple (which again I can't talk about in detail lol).
OVERALL, not bad. I am definitely not the happiest person right now, but what has happened has happened. I think this is a pretty borderline score so I hope I score at least a couple interviews
SJT WAS JUST WEIRD MAN. REAL DAMN WEIRD. NEVER ENCOUNTERED THOSE SCENARIOS BEFORE........ Best of luck with it though!
THANKS FOR READING AND FOLLOWING DA JOURNEY HOMIEZ!
This is a great score! All you can do now is relax.Hey guys, just finished my UCAT today. I will be honest, I am not too happy! I really wanted 3000+ but I guess it doesn't really matter. What more can I do
SCORES
Verbal Reasoning 610 Decision Making 730 Quantitative Reasoning 870 Abstract Reasoning 730 Total Score 2940 Situational Judgement 581
GENERAL THOUGHTS: I am not gonna comment too much on this. Everything ran smoothly at the boxhill test centre where I did my test. We were seated for about 20 minutes and then called up for a photo and security check. We then waited for a invigilator to take us to a room where the computers were.
After AR, I felt I had to completely bombed out the test and basically was in a really shitty mood (pardon my language) for SJT -> Explains this the horrific score lol. I felt my AR sub-test was quite challenging and not as simple as other people describe it to be. Maybe I just got unlucky with my sub-test but I am not a man to whinge! Take it how it is!
VR:
I have no clue how I got 610. VR is my worst section and I thought I would get below 600. I was however very calm during this section and started off really well (in terms of time). I think this really helped. With that said, I did run out of time towards the end so had to guess a couple questions. Not sure about the difficulty but it was pretty much on par with the official resources.

Congrats NB! I know you've worked hard, and although this might not be the score you were hoping for, it's still really good. Just keep believing you'll get an offer, it'll come!
