They'll give you the score report after you're done. It's the same exam as the FRED exam on the usmle site. It's a good way to scope out the prometric center - where the bathrooms are, how's the general environment, how busy it is, how long does it take to simply leave the room and come back during breaks. The prometric practice test itself is way too easy.

@ 240aim--do they give you score in 3 digits or percentage?

[ArchivalUser]

Both. They have the percent and a graph to show you where your percentage lands in terms of the 3 digit score. I would ignore this completely though. It definitely overestimates your score (unless they changed the exam recently).

They recently changed the exam in April 2014. I found it to be much better. The questions are longer and more like an actual exam. But, going to the center is more of just getting acquainted with that facility. Good luck!!
