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.

There's a similar thread about Step 2 CK Score prediction, here's the link

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!

UWSA have a +/- 10 rating

Step vs NBME vs UWSA

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

Actual step 1: 235/84
