at the very least, it gives a good baseline. as it was explained to me- better to compare you to you than you to the average.
i passed my w flying colors, but it wasnt that comforting, because i always could ace those multiple guess tests. but again, next time it will be more accurate.

i would, however, skip the psyche part if you can. i think it is checkbox psychiatry at it's worst. mine had some unpleasant things to say about me.
based, i think, on 2 things- i have an illness that docs dont understand. yeah, fibro is a thing, and they dont understand it. also- i have enemies. guess what? strong women make enemies. other people's misogyny is not my problem. being a strong woman is not a mental illness or a personality disorder.
