We ask members who have just taken their Step 1 exam to post here there pretest assessment scores and question bank performances.
Any post out of the thread theme will be deleted. If you have questions to one of the posters, you can PM them. Please do not change the topic and theme of the thread.
So for example, what was your USMLE World average percentage, did you do it random or subject wise, timed or not, online or offline, once or twice, ...etc The same goes to Kaplan Qbank and any other qbank you've used.
Also mention your scores in UWSA and Free 150 and NBME self assessments if you have done them.
This will help future prospective students predict their scores based on their current performances in these question banks and assessment tools.
Sometimes students forget to post their experience in this thread, instead they mention their scores in other thread in the Step 1 Forum, in such instances, we usually copy the relevant information and list it here as an additional post.

I think that my scores didn't improve because I had a minor medical procedure and also came to the USA two weeks before the exam, and had to take care of my child, so didn't have enough time for studying at the end.
