Hi,
Got my score just now......204/84.........I know that's nothing compared to all those 99's people get, but I am happy to first have cleared step-1...but slightly disappointed with the score.
My exam was in late August but scores were delayed because of some problem with the student status verification (I guess so). I did NBME form7 and I got 450/212/88, but the real thing is different with added anxiety levels and exam center environment and the level of questions, especially more clinical stuff. (form7 is the real thing, so please go for that).
I prepared for about 10 weeks and used Kaplan video and lecture notes, Goljan audio, Goljan path material, and a little of UW. I wish I had some more time to prepare and maybe I'd have got in the 90's, but nevertheless, it's of no use now cuz the exam's over and score are in. Now that i know what's the real deal, i know how to prepare for Step 2 CK for a much better score.
Wish me luck people.........
And thanks to the USMLE forums staff Rasheed, Sabio, Lee and others for helping everyone in this forum, answering questions and giving useful advise.
