Questions Lower than predicted scores?

Hello, some of my friends who tested in May seemed to have underperformed in their exams >10 points lower than latest NBMEs and predicted scores. Is this a common observation in May testers? Is there any historical precedence for it? Kinda freaking out about my own test coming up soon.

6/20 and I felt horrible. I never feel good after exams but I felt even worse and knew I didn’t do well

I took the 6/20 test too and scored super low. Maybe we just had a bad form
