I don't have an answer to your question, the only one I have heard about is that Vandy's intern class' average is 245 for Step I. On a related note, I recently took Step 2 Clinical Skills. Some of the students there were saying that 9-10% of the people were failing. Like Mississippi State students said that 4-5 out of 50 have failed. Has anyone heard any other numbers? Those are awfully high fail rates for a test that costs $1000. 235/waiting

I heard of a few people at my school are failing too. I think it's a crooked system. Is it really necessary to charge is that much to see if we can speak english and wash our hands?

I believe Step 2 CS is curved so a certain percentage of students HAVE to fail. And these people will become the justification for the continuation of this nonsense. Reminds me of circular logic.

My scores were 217/245

Step II CS scheduled for May 11th....I better not fail b/c I am WAY too poor to sign up to take it again

Several people at my school have failed also and not necessarily the people I would have expected.

If you pass, you can get a Peds spot.

Why do you say that?
