.* If you have scored less than 62% correct on this practice test, then you have about a 10% chance of not passing the USMLE if you take it within the next 2 weeks. You are not alone. About 5-10% of students score less than 62%, and 90% do pass the USMLE. If you were planning on taking the test in the next 2 weeks, I recommend for you to consider seeing your schools advisor and so that you can come-up with a new study plan in order to insure that you will pass this test .
