Kaplan diagnostic 150

Hey guys, I just took the Kaplan diagnostic 150. Is there a conversion to figure out what my percent score means in a 3 digit scale? I know there is a converter with the Qbank but I am not sure if it is appropriate for the diagnostic 150.

Thank you!

It is a diagnostic, so there is little predictive value.

It only tells you where you are weak.

Thanks. It makes sense, I guess I'll have to do NBMEs to get some prediction although it is too early for me to do so at this point.

Out of curiosity, what'd you guys score on this? I'm thinking of taking it (I completely forgot it existed, despite having already gone through almost 50% of the QBank questions). And how'd it compare to what you ended up doing for the QBank overall? I'm just wondering what I should expect, and if it's traditionally viewed as a real ballbuster or what.

I hadn't started any dedicated studying and got a 62%. I haven't taken an NBME so no idea what it may correleate with.

I took it sometime recently(its all blending together...) and made like an 80ish i think. Just a heads up that their 336 q simulated exam similarly gives no score correlation, pretty disappointing, i at least wanted one out of that after spending 7 hours..

Damn that sounds like an awesome score I'm assuming, based on the regular QBank.

The diagnostic does have some difficult questions, maybe a couple ridiculous ones but its not as much the really obscure detail questions like the ones in the big bank that drives percentages down. It's better in that regard I thought.

Our school offered the 150 question diagnostic exam. Anyone have any ideas of score correlation?
