Personally did not like uworld. In addition to helping you gain a familiarity with NBME-style questions, the Comprehensive Basic Science Started with a 216 on UWSA1 on week 2 of my prep, did about 75% of uworld, NBMEs 10-14 TWICE, and got a 25X. I too just took NBME 17, and I was wondering if you heard anything back in terms of whether that's a good baseline or not. Test day: Passed. I will take NBME 20 - 25. 5wks) : 55% --> 55% chance of passing (At this point, I thought maybe UWSA1 rly over-predicted my game) NBME 29 (1wk): 61% --> 83% chance of passing. e. NBME 29 was a 68% - again an improvement, and the highest score I had gotten to that point (little did I know the highest NBME I’d ever get). I worried myself to hell because most people I know taking the exam (on this sub and in real life) had 70%+ on their NBME consistently before writing the exam. For me personally it was 65% on an nbme with >90% chance of passing + >70% on free 120 (I ended up with a 75%)…I only hit those scores in the few days before my exam. Therefore, you want the whole confidence interval to be in the passing range, which means you should aim NBME 26 (2wks) : 59% --> 75% chance of passing. The 59% gives me a . It’s possible that the 2/100 people who failed had bad test day anxiety and just did not perform how they normally perform and then ended up failing and posting on Reddit. Scores: NBME 25 - 45% (7 weeks out) NBME 26 - 53%. I'll let you know if I passed when my score releases tomorrow. Personally, I would feel comfortable with the 80-85 range. . My school requires us to take an NBME comp exam before we can sit for step 1. 1. 2nd school CBSE (end of foundations; didn't study over the summer bc of military obligations; felt horrible after this exam): 37%. Dedicated starts on May 5 for me. From what I’ve gathered consistent scores of around 65% (raw) are good enough to get the pass. lw ez ph xn lq lj tt fp mi kf
