To all the people out there who took the USMLE in 2003, I was wondering if you could post the mean and standard deviation for this year? Last year the mean was 216 with a very large SD (24).

So, if you know what the mean and sd from the 2003 exam is, please post it.

Thanks and Good Luck

I think it changes all the time, not only once per year.

I had average 215, SD 21 in August 2002.

It would be fun to see how the SD has developed over the last years, though. It seems like it's been growing and growing. I think the average is pretty fixed at 215ish.

Come to think of it, I think someone in this forum once mentioned something about 3-month periods. Maybe they adjust every 3 months?

Guess they haven't changed it
