Approximately percentage correct in UWorld before taking the USMLE and then actual USMLE score.

This is probably one of the weakest correlations you can attempt to make
I see the trolls have done their part.
< 50% in UW and 260+
That wasn't even worth putting up.
I'm more interested in a poll correlating time spent on SDN and Step score.
Also, For This To Work Out, The SDN Names @least ShouldBe Displayed.
That Way Can Double CheckThat It MatcheS With The Scores in "the Step1 Scores & Experiences Thread"

I made it anonymous so that users can participate without showing their score. It is pretty obvious which should be disregarded.
Not that obvious, b/c then CDI's example occurs (amongst many others, like >90% UW and <188). Then the poll loses credibility.
I think there are plenty of people who post their scores on the "scores & experiences thread" to make this poll worth it only with their credible data.
Heck, you could probably gather all this data yourself by going thru the "scores & experiences" threads for the last few years. That would be more credible AND you could also compare any trends seasonally and/or annually.
FWIW, did a quick and dirty linear regression on the 16 legit votes (61% corelation). According to it, a 59% on UWorld approximates getting a actual score of 225 and a 71% on UWorld equates to a 240. If more people legitimately report their stats, I'll put together some better information.
I think its better to do like last 15 tests or something.. Some ppl start in the 30s and end in 60+ but their overall
mean will be low..
