Relased Exam Progress

DrTacoElf · Jul 31, 2007

Here are my released exam scores. I took them as individual sections of 100 questions as I was studying each subject. I started with 1982 and moved up to 1998. Anyway i'm 11 days out from the real deal and will be doing 2004 pilot and 1998-2005 compliation relased exams soon. My goal on the real exam is 95+, which from what i've seen means missing 10 or less in each section on the exam. Just thought it would be interesting to compare these scores with what I get on the real deal

im averaging in the low and mid 80's raw score. released exams from ADSA. though I think, results from the real exam can be varied since Ive known so many people who scored real well on the the releaseds but didnt live up to their expectation come game time while others who surpassed theirs...Good luck on your exam

No kidding they aren't identical, if they were it wouldn't be much of a challenge now would it... Yes my goal is 95.

. I have 9 days left. I plan on putting in 8-12 hours per day.

ObliqueRidge · Aug 2, 2007

i didn't say not identical. I said nothing like it. All the old tests have repeats and it isn't in your best interest to compare your scores on all the old tests to the real thing. More power to you though if you think you can get above a 95

hey what's your last 10 days before the exam like? Whats your preparation of "fine tuning" so to speak?

Tiger05 · Aug 2, 2007

I was missing around 10-17 on each section of the released exams. I missed about 45 total on the 2004 exam and 30+ total on the 2006.
I ended up getting a 93 on the boards this year. I hope that helps.

Studying lots of anatomy based on my scores above. Also reviewing back over path and micro for the diseases/conditions/classifications. Then moving onto biochem pathways and finally a little dental anatomy just to freshen that up. Also have to do 2004 pilot.

Just took the pilot. I missed 36. What worries me is a lot of those ?s were repeats and I do not expect that at all on the real deal. Also I had a lot more difficulty with the Vignettes. I think those questions tend to be much more advanced. Back to the books for me

you are pretty good, 90+ at least. Relax, don't try to remember new things in these few days and go over the old exams and understand the concepts. Good luck!

Is there an actual 06 exam..I bought all the ones from asda, but I don't see that one or is that the actual one you took?
