Hi Mansour,
Can I get a personalized advice from you, I failed second time?

Thanks fsummer! But let me tell you, the way the Step 3 is graded and the scale that's used is sooo different than Step 1 and 2. For instance. 227 on Step 2 is equivalent to a 94 on Step 2 and 229 on Step 3 is equivalent to an 85 on Step 3! You need a super three digit score on Step 3 to get a great percentage. I'm not sure if it's graded differently or what. I got a 220/83 on mine. Really happy I passed, but the score really didn't coorelate with the UW Assessment. I got a 560/231 on the Assessment and that's equivalent to like an 86 on the actual exam. My score really didn't coorelate with NBME either. I did however do really well on the CCS cases. My bar was way above average so this plays a huge role in passing or failing the exam. All my cases ended early and patient's were feeling better so I assume I did all the right things.

And furthermore fsummer, according to previous years like in 2008 onwards 215 was a 91 on the Step 3. I thought the questions were very douable, but the scale is different.
