Hello guys,
I just got my step 1 results. I scored 228. From the results of Uworld, 4 NBMEs and 2 Uworld sim forms it looks like I was somewhere between 230 and 240, so 228 actually makes sense. So I am looking at my performance profile
.
I have 2 questions about my performance profile: 1) what is the evidence-based medicine, what does it take into consideration? and 2) does the borderline performance mean borderline compared to the rest of the applicants? or compared to the passing grade?
My other question is: Do you guys think it's worth it to ask for a recheck? Searching on the internet I find posts of people wanting to do it, then everyone comments that it is not worth it. Then a guy comes with a story that he/she had some problems with the exam (exam couldn't start for 30 min etc.) and he/she asked for a recheck and actually got better results. What is your opinion? Personally I do not even understand the logic of a recheck since the exam is computer based.
Thanks
