>50% can land you a chronic pain fellowship?? everyone told me you had to be at least in the 70th percentile.
Sigh, if that's all you took from my post that's too bad.

are you a pgy1 tooI scored 50. Just wanted to brag on this anonymous online forum since it cant be done in real life without alienating everybody. FWIW I used truelearn app on my iphone and did questions mostly during down time and/or at the gym, etc.

ppl lying to you
Ie raw score you'd shoot for on the real deal to pass?
Thanks buddy... just out of curiosity then, what percentile is tracking in the fail range? 37 roughly correlates to the 50th percentile. This exam is getting crazyI've always heard a 35 or 37...I wonder if that gets bumped up though with the big jump in scoring with basic implementation

mailed to the program. Your program should give you a copyAnyone get keyword reports? Can't remember if those get sent to programs or were mailed to us directly

Back in the day, the written exam was a subset of the same ITE that residents were taking in the same room alongside those taking the exam for real. Depending on performance on the subset, a 32 might be a pass or a fail. A 33 was generally thought to be a safe scaled score pass. A few years ago, they were separated, but I think that score still holds up as the minimum for a passing score. You need to shoot for much higher than that. I don't think they have adjusted for the score inflation that has been seen over the past few years. When the scores dipped in the late 90's, they held the same standard for passing, so the pass rate dipped into the 60 percent range at its nadir. I suspect that it will continue to be high 80's or low 90's percent range that pass.Thanks buddy... just out of curiosity then, what percentile is tracking in the fail range? 37 roughly correlates to the 50th percentile.

Good point. All who scored below 30th percentile will be hitting it hard. If your score stays flat or only goes up by 3-4 points, your percentile will crater because everyone will pass you. I've seen it happen so many times.My opinion - if you are below 20-30th percentile you probably have work to do. I am sure there is a population of CA-3s out there (especially in programs that don't pay for written boards based on ITE performance) that didn't take ITE too seriously, bringing down the average which could have inflated the percentiles out there.
There are many more resources out there for reviewing for the boards than there used to be, but I think they are ramping up some of the difficulty as well. Scores that get 50th percentile now would have likely been 80-90th percentile 2 decades ago.

38 is not hovering in the fail range. As long as you don't regress, you will pass. As others do better, your percentile will not be as high, but a 38 is a pretty decent score.I'm going to ball out for the real deal in July, I was on a terrible rotation and didn't have to study so got a 38 and 56th percentile. It freaks me out a bit but I'm sure I'll pass. Just kinda nuts to think I'm in fail range with a high 30 and hovering around the center of the bell curve. Again, this exam is getting ridiculous
I see people do better than those in classes above them all of the time. It is very common.For sure. my score is good enough for 88% compared to CA3s, which is like no way in hell since all the CA3s know way more than I do. They prob clicked all Cs and left

Everyone is handsomer (prettier) here than in real life, too.Thanks homie, well, compared to all the folks in this thread scoring in the 99th percentile....

Seems I heard they fail more people than that? Somewhere in the 30-35% range? One of the highest amongst board licensing associations
