hey guys,

My school requires everyone to pass a From D with a 475. I took it today and scored a 440. I don't know how to feel about it. On one hand, I'm glad that I passed (>400) on the other hand I'm pissed because I've been studying hard but this might be the motivation I need since i've been so burnt out and demotivated.

Anyone have any experience with this? How is the score that I got? Any recommendation in studying?

Thank you all!

Depends on when the test is. If it's tomorrow, that's bad. If it's in June, and it should be, you should be able to do a lot better than that. Though FYI, I think the COMSAE's suck at predicting your score.

June 5th is the exam!

Yeah some people at my school took it today. Mine is in early June as well. Good luck!

I also took the COMSAE today, scoring in the 500s. I plan on finishing UWORLD, reading Saverese and going over FA in a greater depth. To my surprise, the COMSAE wasn't even remotely as hard as UWORLD but they did ask quite a few questions I psych drugs and OBGYN drugs.

Planes2Doc, idk who you are but we are in the same class!

Eokpar, you straight gunning! Thanks for the 500 score! jk!

I took COMSAE A yesterday and got a 466 and I'm pretty pleased. We have to do A for diagnostic nowish, and then we have to get at least a 500 on D 10 days before the COMLEX (early-mid June). Honestly, I've been "studying for the boards" since January, but I know I've forgotten a lot and was expecting to get <400. I feel like I know nothing, but apparently would likely pass COMLEX if I took it right now; to me that's a huge relief! I mean obviously I want to do a lot better than that, but it seems like if I (and you) keep studying we'll be fine!

Here at KCOM they require a 450 on the COMSAE C a few days before the test to take the real thing.

What is your school?



What is your school?

UNECOM. It's a new thing this year, in past years they required a 450 on COMSAE D 10 days out.

You still have plenty of time to improve. I wouldn't be overly worried at this point. You got a passing score. Good luck!

Lol you wont know what worrying is until you leave the testing center. That is universally the worst feeling you will have in medical school. Then you will freak out and start researching psych programs in southern Montana for a few weeks. Then you will realize that you are fine.

Man, I hope so! Uworld is kicking my butt! I just feel like I'm cramming tons of info into my head with 0 retention. Getting questions wrong after already learning/covering a section. 🙁

That's me right now too. My guess is that the only way is doing so many questions on a daily basis that every subject is something we just "reviewed" through uworld explanations.

We take COMSAE next week. I've heard they're not the greatest predictor before. Do they tend to overestimate or underestimate?

I've heard of both overestimations and underestimations. At my school they tell us it's +/- 50 points, whatever that's worth.

Seems like it's worth nothing

Yup, especially since I've heard of people getting 150+ differences compared to the real thing when they took the COMSAE only 1-2wks before their real thing.

I remember taking the COMSAE C & B 2 weeks before my real COMLEX and scoring in the 470s. Ended up scoring around 550 on the real COMLEX... lol
