Last NBME v. Real Score

[bowlofmushypeas]

Given the recent influx of scores, thought I'd start a thread that's a quicker read for future test takers / people waiting for their score (me!). It takes me forever to obsess through posts of NBME trends so this would be helpful for me and I think others.

Basically, if you've gotten your score back, list your last NBME score and what your real score was.

I'll post mine eventually if I'm not too ashamed

don't let it get you down.

Last NBME was 7 - score was 250. Step 1 real score was 251. Pretty close.

However regardless of this, don't let it define your expectations. You can ALWAYS do better.

Last (and only) NBME: NBME 11 - 3 wks before exam - 259
Actual: 271/99

I was going to another NBME but ended up deciding no good would come of it. Either I would do better and it wouldnt really tell me anything new or I would do worse and psych myself out.
