then why the hell is everyone on this site gettung over 240. For every person getting less than a 210, 500 people here get a 259/99

does it make you feel better? no one on this site knows who you are

I agree man...it seems a little suspect to me. Same with the comlex scores of >700. Either everyone on this site is smart as hell, or they are full of S**T

You are probably 10X more likely to report your score if it's better than the mean. Nobody with poor scores wants to take a chance of their score getting out to people they know. I know most of my buddies screen names in here 😉

lots of the people on here have been busting out trying to do well on step II. Most of the people in my class who are satisfied with Step I and do not want to report Step II will probably take it in the Spring and read Crush 2 maybe once or twice over a week to two week period. that's it. these are the people that score about 200 to bring down the avg.

Ive seen maybe 4 COMLEX scores over 700 so far, and about 10 USMLE scores over 255. I dont think that qualifies as everybody.

Why the anger?

Is the average 217? Yes
Are SDN members smart? Yes you are.

Even those of us who decently beat the mean but don't have spectacular scores aren't posting the particulars. This is all very self-selective, so not representative. Nobody should let it get to them. 🙂
