hey

so i just drove my ass to the prometric center to take the 150 questions and got a 106/150 (70%)...does that correlate w/a score of ~ 182? i have 3 weeks before i take the real thing and really just wanna pass the dang thing (i want to do FP) but have no idea how to interpret what i got....

thanks for any insight
B.B 😕

do you have to pay to take the 150 q at a prometric site?

It is of course a guess, but I would say that a 70% would correlate to a 190-200.

Thanks for the super quick reply!!

Yeah, you have to pay to take the test at the prometric center...$45. I thought it was worth it b/c i wanted to get a feel for the center itself (noise level etc etc) before the real thing...i guess for me it was more psychological than anything else...

I'd put a 70% at 200-210, close to bigfrank, but higher in that I think you are pretty much assured you would pass. A 70% on Qbank would get you about a 230, but i have heard that the 150 is a lot easier than q-bank. I should do it in the next 2 days and form my own opinion if it is easier.

you can take a 150q practice test at the specific site that you are going to test at?

 

[BombayBombshell]

Yeah, the 150 are pretty straightforward...i've just started going thru FA and so i missed a lot of really basic stuff just b/c i couldn't remember the details...for instance, pharm was straight out of FA.

I'm sure you'll rock the 150 when you do take it!

Check out the thread I bumped up of Qbank v USMLE score.

about the sample exam you can take at prometric -- where are these questions pulled from??? are they the 150 released items or the nbme self assessment questions? 😕

i want to sign up to take the prometric exam but i don't want to buy one of the self assessments and have it end up being the same exam i take at the center....

thanks!

 

[djipopo]

just wondering if anyone had an info on this

bump 😎

The practice exam you take at the center is the same as the 150 Released items.

The NBME self assesments are completely different questions.

I would do both as questions and concepts from the released and the self-assesments showed up on my real exam.

will do, thanks!
