We just took our CBSE at school right after finishing classes with no study time and I'm wondering how similar the exam is to the actual Step 1. The questions were a lot easier than I expected and there were quite a few gimmes. The question stems were also much smaller than the ones seen with UWorld questions. I just passed with a 192 but I'm wondering if it's possible to go up to a 235 with the 2 months of studying I have. If the CBSE is similar the actual step 1 I could see this being possible.
