Is it all about the amount of questions you do?

As above,
Is performance predominantly linked to number of questions completed.

For example,

If a person did all UWorld, USMLE Rx, Qbank, all NBMEs, free 150, would you think they would have assured themselves a minimum score?

Performance is linked to your ability to attack a problem from different sides, a sort of pattern recognition, if you will. That's what the questions help you with. Assuming at least average IQ/test taking ability and mastery of the concepts presented in FA, I don't see why not.

As the Great Phloston says," After 6000-7000 questions it boils down to quick recall of concepts". So yes, I think after mastering 6-7000 questions concepts will be fully saturated and then it will be a matter of quick recall. May be you guys will correct me.

Interesting the outlier / person who only did ~100 practice questions and scored ~180... wonder what their story was?
