Hi forum members,
I am new to this forum.
I am doing USMLE world as a first time.
Now I have been using the mode (timed, unused Qs, all subjects). I have already done 27 tests in UW q bank. My average score is 57%. But the problem is that I am now having 43% during these days. I am depressed.
I want to know how USMLE score can correlate with actual exam.
Please answer.
Thanks in advances!
hey buddy this is definitely okay and totally 'physiological' since this is yur first time .
As UW itself states on its front page.."thse questions are to increase your thoroughness" and dont corelate to yur score....
some concepts are understood better in 'retrospect' after you got them wrong on you first time UW !!
just note down yur mistake and swear not to repeat them . kae !!
it is the score in your step1 simulator exams that correlates i.e. UWform 1,2 and esp NBME forms.
Thanks bomei for your reply! I am scared to have 43% two times today.
I just want to get about 90 in real exam. I am not expecting 99.
Thanks again for your encouragement.
