Ok so a lot of schools' deans have thrown around the whole "you need 57-60% correct on Step I to pass" statement. (and I think First Aid put it at even a higher percentage) Does anybody else think this seems a bit high? Considering that only about 5% of students (give or take) fail Step I, this would mean that about 95% are getting at least 57% right on the actual exam.
But what confuses me is that the Uworld average % correct is somewhere in the mid-50% correct. From what people have said, the real exam isn't THAT much easier than Uworld. So wouldn't it seem like a larger percent of students would be failing if you really needed 57-60% to pass Step I? Sorry if this doesn't make sense. My stressed/panicked mind is unable to form comprehensive thoughts at this point
