hey guys -

not to add to the crazy panicked posts - but I just took two diagnostics: one last week and one this week to get a baseline before my hardcore studying.

NBME CBSE score (taken as a class) - 155 equiv. (53%)
Kaplan Qbank diag - 37%

I have gotten in the 45-50%s for other Qbank q's. The only subject I have completely studied is Biochem.

I take step 1 on June 15th. Should I be worried?

thanks in advance!

you have plenty of time. don't worry. they will go up slowly. My advise: don't take the diagnostics until you are prepared or better prepared...they help you to guide your studies

The NBME comp is pretty accurate, provided that you put in the time to study for it and take it.

I am in the same boat!

We can get 99's just like everyone else!
