Does COMLEX or COMPLEX sound like a better test name?

What's your opinions on this? I think COMPLEX has more of a ring to it 👍, COMPLEX doesn't roll off the mouth too well.

So you like COMPLEX, but at the same time think it doesn't roll off the mouth too well.

😕

Full disclosure, I thought it was COMPLEX until I was corrected on SDN.

Nahhh COMPLEX is the exam given to all pre-meds before they start applying to schools. COMLEX is the higher level test because they drop a P and you have to still rock the exam.

I say rename it to COMTLEX. A T is basically like a half P which makes both parties happy.

where does the P come from? isnt it The Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination

From "Practitioner."

Actually, no. It comes from people that misread COMLEX as COMPLEX.

Same thing. I thought it was COMPLEX as well, then I started reading posts on SDN and felt silly for adding the P.

Maybe people assume the name is there to warn you how hard a test is, so the subconsciously change it to COMPLEX. Cuz, come on, we all know that the COMLEX is a very complex test. Just sayin'.

Everyone taking them just calls them "boards".

 

[SpecterGT260]

OP, you realize all the letters stand for something, right? That's why they are capitalized

It should be called the "COMLESS". Imo, the AOA should just use the USMLE to test medical knowledge and use the COMLEX (like a shelf exam) to test OMT.
