I got a 79 step 1 and 81 in step 2. I consider myself MOST fortunate to have passed the boards. Passing a board exam is a HUGE achievement. I know what you are saying, I am going into psych so I dont care about have those scores as I am going into a low-competition residency and I am a US citizen.
If you are going into surgery you may want to aim for higher scores, but for someone with multiple failures a 75 is a big achievement just to pass.
Remember: Pass=MD. Pass=Residency.
