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.
212(89) On my USMLE
NBME1: 480(218)
NBME:2: 470(216)
NBME 3: 430(208)
UWSA 1 (4 days before exam) [520 = 224]
USMLERx 336 exam (7 days before exam) [73% correct = 240]
Did all tests online
I screwed up Behavioral Sciences on my USMLE therefore why i had a mark decrease to 212... Should do much better on my step 2 since im capable of it.... I stoped doing nbme after form 3.. should of done 7 but oh well... On 2 clinicals for me!
I got 99/238 in real exam.
my NBME 7 score (online) was 238 (6 days before exam)
my UWSA 2 was 236, 2 weeks before exam
my UWSA 1 was 246, three months before exam
well i got 91/215 in step 1
took my UWSA form 1 - 1mnth b4 exam - 236
UWSA form 2 - 15 days b4 exam - 252
didn't took nbme online, solved them offline.
I guess UWSA over exaggerates your score.
screwed horribly in behaviour to end up with this score.
Hi everyone, I have been silently following along everyone's scores and thought I would now add mine into the mix (for me, I thought UWSA was the best predictor)
NBME 11 - 420
NBME 5 - 470
NBME 7 - 214
UWSA 1 - 228
UWSA 2 - 242
UW (100% completed) - 63%
Study time: 10 weeks
Study aids: FA + UW only
Real Test score: 246/99
Uworld-80% / 88 percentile (first use timed mode)
NBME 12-247/610 ( m not sure about 610 but 247 is definite)
UWSA : 1- 263; 2-265
Read FA again and again very helpful apart from regular material from kaplan!
-Real test score : 229
-kaplan Qbank : DID NOT DO IT
-Uworld : 67 %
-NBME's : nbme 6 - 234
-UWSA : one and two weeks after NBME-- 233(uwsa1) and 243(uwsa2)
STEP 1 score: 219/94%
QBANK: did 65%
UWORLD: 63% ( waz most helpful)
NBME: did offline (now realized should have taken online assessment test)
uwsa: didnt take
took exam b4 grad in final yr. (dears orientation does matter-so plan accordingly)
Self-Assessment 2: 257
NBME 12: 220!
NBME 13: 240
Real Exam (12 June 2012): 254 (88)
I believe NBME is not that sensitive enough, at least for foreign graduates.
I studied for 6 months and participated in the exam as an IMG from Iran.
Best,
My scores were
Kaplan Qbank (offline) = 83%
UWorld (offline) = 86 %
NBME 7 (online) = 245
NBME 11 (online) = 242 ------> found it tougher than the exam
Real exam = 253/88
