Just at 4 days of the CK! So far Read twice Kaplan IM, Once Surgery, Peds. Did UW once with 72%, and doing since 100 Qs or more per day... From Crush read Obgyn and read from FA Cardio.
Taken UWSA 217
NMBE 3 490
NMBE 4 510
any insight for time left? Thanks!
It's too late to even think of postponing your exam, so go for it. I too have a 204/84 in step-1 and am aiming high for step-2, so hope you pass and score well in step-2ck. Just revise your weak areas and u'll be gud for the exam in this limited time frame.

Well three days to go! today did the USMLE test, got 82% don't know if is any good but at least it's a passing score. going to do some more UW Qs and call it a day.
3 days after taking the Step... don't know how to put it don't know how it went. After finishing blocks & Qs realized had some of them wrong! so... Actually have a strange feeling about overall result...
Block 7 seems the hardest. There were lots of Obgyn Qs, IM, Peds & Psych, like 10-20's of behavioral! really strange test of what i've read... So, 3 weeks of waiting? why if its a computer based exam?!
Good luck to every one! be posting after results Hoping PASS

congrats ibur, everybody says time wasn't enough atleast for 2-3 questions per block. You have not had that problem!!!! Time was the only barrier in step-2ck and u've surpassed it. U'll get a great score! dnt worry!
dude, it's way better than leaving 3-4 questions/block (makes about 30 q's gone wrong) unattempted. Unanswered q's are counted as wrong responses; which can make a difference. Being totally nervous after a step exam is absolutely physiological for these exams...
congrats man on that great score!!!!!!!226/99!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you've balanced your relatively low step-1 score now (even i have a 204/84 in step-1;hoping to score like you in step-2).
Hats off to you!!!
i think it has somethng to do with the exam getting harder and lesser questions..
i found out while checking one of the forums that during 2004 or before examgivers who got 244 in step 1 got 99 and anything less than 244 got lesser scores below 99 ...so 244 was the 99 margin then ..
they dropped to 235 in last 3-4 years and now for 229 is the margin for 99 in step 1....
perhaps the standard is the two digit score ...and it may have something to do with the difficulty level increasing and lesser no. of questions...
