Marks don't matter unless they're good enough for you to get a potential distinction (which also requires student and staff votes) - I got mostly excellence in the various sections (e.g. anatomy / pathology / pharm / physiology) in the more detailed exam results we got about 10 months after the exam and even I admit nobody will care that I didn't get bare pass in those sections like the guy next to me. This means the focus of your study will shift from trying to get those % in exams, to spending more time on topics that tickles your fancy, or material you think will be relevant once you get into your clinical years. For me, the first month of studying was spent like I was in health science - then I saw the light and studied like above. I couldn't escape going back into health science mode the month before exams, the damn method has been etched into me.

It's going to take something huge to make your interest in Med any different from all the days you've woken up not caring about.
