Members don't see this ad.

I wanted to know if there is any correlation between MCAT scores and COMLEX step I scores. So anyone who has taken step I, if you are fine with it, post your MCAT and your COMLEX score.

THANKS!

You are not going to find much correlation besides that from selection bias. But here goes.


MCAT 36 (12,12,12)
COMLEX 1 732
COMLEX 2 688

My point proven. Selection bias for the win. Also take into acount the post history. If half the posts are about their scores take it with a grain of salt.

or it demonstrates that you need not be proficient at answering questions regarding 17th century Italian architecture or memorizing unnecesary chemical reactions to be successful on boards or in medical school... MCAT is a joke and is simply utilized to discard a significant amount of applications in the screening process.. the only individuals that say otherwise are those with high MCAT's, which are useless at this point in the game... when I was at that stage I was curious as well...

comlex: 588/634

24. 720. 255.

I assume that the 255 is the USMLE. Nice scores.

There are multiple articles in the JAOA, which all students have access to if articles are not already publicly available. I saw one previously that stated the best correlation is your grade in Physiology class.

However, most of the studies are 10+ years old and the test has changed.

I'm assuming the interview season has been nice to you? Scores boosting you above your school's "new" status?
