In this thread we ask those who have got their CK results to post their USMLE World, Kaplan Qbank, Other Qbanks, NBME, UWSAs, and any other question bank scores.

This will help future prospective CK takers to predict their CK according to their current performance in the above mentioned banks.

Sometimes, members forget to post here, so what we do, we copy their experiences from other threads and add them here.

Please do not change the theme of the thread. Post only similar to other posts. If you have questions to the posters, you can PM them, do not ask them in this thread.

Just got my score today! **253!**
Background: US allopathic med school, Step 1 was 238. Finished 3rd year with IM clerkship. Took 4 weeks to study (about 7-8 hours, 6 days a week on avg). My shelf exams ranged between 77 and 79, except psych which was 89.
NBME 6: 217 (took this before actual review began to get baseline)
NBME 4: 235 (2 weeks in)
UWSA1: 259 (3 weeks in, after finishing all of UWorld)
UWSA2: 246 (2 days later)
NBME 7: 245 (2 days after that/3 days before exam)

Thanks to everyone for posting their results. This helped me a lot to keep it up!
IMG here, took 5 months to prepare.
Read MTB2 and 3 and some chapters on Kaplan notebooks .
Uworld remained the best ressource i had.
I found the real STEP2CK way harder than Uworld. When I got out of the exam, I thought I would not pass.

Step1 (nov 2016) : 248
UWORLD first pass (timed, random) : 79%
UWSA1 : 264

STEP2CK real score (may 2017) : 256 :eek:

Result timing and NBME Predictive Value

UWSA 1 (April 12) - 205
UWSA 2 (May 15) - 238
NBME 6 (May 26)- 205
UWORLD- 69%

Step 2CK (June 21) - 238 :eek:

RESULT TIMING: Got results on the 4th Wednesday at 8:45AM ET. (My step one score was given on the 3rd Wednesday after the exam also at 8:45AM ET)

Test Experience: Walked out of the exam feeling like a total idiot. I ran out of time in every block and randomly guessed on all of the biostat questions without reading them.

***IMPORTANT- I know many friends did terribly or failed the NBMEs before the exam and then ended up with 240-250 on the real thing. I found the NBMEs to be incredibly predictive of my Step 1 score, but they seemed to be very unreliable for CK. I know its great to have a guide on how you are doing, but please be careful- the NBME can shatter your confidence and prevent you from taking the exam sooner.
