COMLEX scores up to June 15 - anyone get them

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

NO. I took it on the 4th of June, and after I saw the update today at around 8:15, I nearly had a massive coronary from all the anxiety of logging in and finding out my fate. Once I accessed the uber-secret "online system"--- nothing had changed. I've been sitting here compulsively pushing refresh for the past hour--and still no score update for me. Anyone else have any luck?

Oh NBOME, why do you mock me?

I have spent 5 years in a technology field and I have learned that it is a mistake to release something like this on a website over the weekend! Support has left for the weekend, and there is generally 1 person watching the servers. Why didn't they do it yesterday? I guess we will have to wait until Monday.

A 27 year old IT employee from the greater Chicago area presents to the NBOME office with symptoms of severe rectal-cranial inversion disorder. Previously during the day, his boss had instructed him to first UPDATE the COMLEX step 1 scores, and THEN post an announcement on the the front page of the website. The confused employee complied with only the later half of these instructions, while ignoring the prior. An EEG was performed and revealed totally absent alpha, beta, theta, and delta waves. Stanford-Binet intelligence testing was administered, but results were inconclusive since the employee wrote only the words "more cowbell" for every answer. Viscerosomatic changes are present at T12-L2. The next most appropriate step in management of this employee would be which of the following:

A) Fire the employee
B) Initiate 90 seconds of CV4 therapy, then fire the employee
C) Initiate pharmacologic therapy with Methylphenidate, then fire the employee
D) Screen the employee for every ridiculous disease you can think of with less than 1 in 7 million incidence and/or never occurs in North America like Burkitt's Lymphoma, Zollinger-Ellison's Syndrome, Whipple's Disease, and Pheochromocytoma..... give the employee a beta-blocker or ace inhibitor just for the hell of it, since these compulsory drugs appear in every pharm question answer..... then fire the employee

My Friends and I were sitting here and one of our friends told us of the announcement. We all in compulsion raced to our rooms, said prayers and had a small MI. Just to discover at 12:15am that there were no score (and probably wouldn't be till monday). We now will see how many beers/mixed drinks we can drink until Monday.

Thanks NBOME for making me have to CAGE myself tomorrow!

Yeahhhhhhh! Scores are up, or at least mine are. Took the test on June 4th and even though I was almost sure I passed I still had the anxiety to know the score. I put in lots of effort and did well (646), which one of my friends just told me is like top 96-97% so Im super excited. Now I just have to wait until those USMLE scores come out this week.

I hope everyone did well. But dont worry because if you're on SDN then you probably did way above average.

Well, Im not an expert in statistics but the Avg is a 500 and Standered Dev is 79. So a 579 would be about 84% and a 658 would be 97.5%. since Im at about 1.85 SD then I had to find a table of z-scores( which I found in HY biostats) and find what area beyond your score you fall under. So if you have a 579 which is 1 sd, then you would look up 1.0 on a Z-chart which is about
.16 or 16%. then Subtract 16% from 100% and you get 84%.
Correct me If Im wrong.

Wow, I feel like a ***** after looking at some of these scores. I guess I'll post my score just for proof that people do score below 600. I went into the exam hoping to be average and ended up with 537. Oh well. I crossed derm off my list a long time ago!

According to the NBOME score interpretation: "The mean score every year is a 500. Standard deviations of COMLEX written examination 3-digit scores are Level-specific and time-specific. For Level 1 examinations given from May 2006 to present, the standard deviation is 79"

"Standard scores (2-digit). The minimal passing 2-digit standard scores for all three written examinations are 75, regardless of when the examinations are taken.

Standard deviations of COMLEX written examinations 2-digit scores are Level-specific and time-specific. For Level 1 examinations given between 1998 and 2001, the standard deviation is 3.55; from 2002 to October 2005, the standard deviation is 3.95."

It doesn't say what Oct 2005 to present is.????



If I remember correctly from statistics class.....I believe one standard deviation is 68%, two would be 95%tile, 3 would be 99%tile, but I don't know if that is how NBOME does things since they weight questions differently? That would make 68%tile 579 and a 95%tile a 658 three digit score and 99%tile 737. Who knows because they obviously alter our raw score to MAKE the mean a 500 on every exam

Statistically 50% of the people taking it got below a 500. I had a similar score to you (10 points lower) and by no means embarassed. Out of the thousands of people applying to medical school, we were part of the 10% that got in. Then out of that we were part of the 90% that didn't drop out/ fail out during the first two years. Out of those left, we scored higher than the average???? I am the first in my family to go to college, went to a tiny state school and am at school with all these ivy league alumni, I am damn proud of my school.

Good Luck to everyone

It sounds like we have a lot in common! I was quite happy with my score until I started reading all of the obnoxiously high scores on here and it just deflated my balloon a little. I did what I set out to do, so I'm satisfied with that. I just hope that I haven't limited my residency options too much.

I'm always suspicious of high scores and a new account. Plus some scores may get inflated in route from the mailbox to SDN.
