If your average for the blocks is a 58% (68, 58, 48%) then it is estimated by medfriends.org that you would get a 177 which is a failing score. I would highly recommend you buy one of the $45 NBME exams and see how you score on that. Those are usually a good indication of how you will do.
It is concerning to me that your scores progressively went down significantly. That was only 3 blocks as well. Test day is 8 blocks. Was fatigue a factor for the 2nd and 3rd blocks?
Unless I have misunderstood your post, I do not think it is possible for you to get to a 250. It sounds like you are well into your studying. Since you have already started studying, to be able to get to the 250 mark you would need to be scoring much higher than you currently are. You just can't make up 70+ points in 3 weeks.
On the free150, you need to get 79% right to get a 237 and 85.3% right to get a 250. 58% is a far cry from that. At this point, you should take an NBME to see if the free 150 was a fluke or not. If it was not a fluke, you need to set your sights on something more realistic.
well i woke up at 4am the day i took the exam. i slep the night before for 5 hours. i studied till noon that day and suddenly decided to take the practice test. while taking the test i realized that i was missing on time on the first block itself and i didnt think of answers as i marked them. it went on till the second block till i reached the mid part of second block. after that i just wanted to end the test so i started to hurry and mark the answers.
though i have not done neuro and biostats till now. but with others i have gone through UW once (apart from biostats and neuro) and doing first reading of first aid.
i dont know if i am in bad shape or simply i freeked out during the test. but i really worry
well i did UW subject wise and did it after reading the topics from FA. for example. i read entire pharm once and did UW questions and scored around 65 to 70% on each subject. that means that i read pharm, path (from goljan-not yet from FA), physio (from kaplan), biochem and then took the exam.Well there are a few things that can predict your score:
1) the free 150- you already did this
2) You percentage on USMLE world. Most recommend doing it in random, timed mode for the best predictor. How did you do them- random or by subject (if by subject was it right after you had read the section)? Timed, Untimed or Tutor?
What was your percentage correct on your first time through the questions?
3) NBMEs- might as well do one of these for peice of mind. It will really give you a definitive answer as to how you are doing.
