Please explain me this thing. A safe range to sit for exam is cosidered 95% probability of passing in 3 practice tests nbme or uwsa according to articles online. It also says it is 68-72%. in percentage score Before is was 220-230 as a buffer zone in 3-digit score which would mean 77-80% in recalculation of corrects. And the passing score 196 equals 76%. Does this mean the passing score for the test has de facto decreased now?
Also can having above 190 in 3-digit score in the earlier taken nbme's be accepted as a safe buffer score now?
Also should the 3 nbme's/uwsa with 95 % probablity be taken necessarily consequtively or can there be one with a lower score between them?
This is necessary to know. Thank you for the answer in advance
