NBME 19 scoring

[DrGoon]

can anybody explain the scoring for nbme 19? I just took it and got 75% correct, but my predicted step 1 score was was only a 194. That seems like a really low score given the percent of questions I got right. Kind of freaking out since my exam is in 3 weeks

It seems to under predict for everyone as far as I know

 

[confusedhokie]

same. I just took it and got 84% and it gave me a 219. Was kind of hoping with my exam only being 4 days away I'd be in a better position, but it is what it is I suppose

I got 14 incorrect and that was a 250.

Per FA, 60-70% is a pass on the real deal.

Hey! I plan on taking 19 this week and I'm kind of terrified about the curve specially because I've heard it can totally mess with your confidence, and I have my exam in 2 weeks. How did you find it?

Missed 23 and got a 234

 

[RabiesnScabies]

Just took it today, missed 33 and got a 217, upsetting since I am taking my exam in 9 days.

 

[IVDOD]

[MedBrah 19]

6 incorrect -> 265

 

[TheBoneDoctah]

17 incorrect > 244

 

[Ace Khalifa]

22 wrong = 236

 

[mymembernames]

Heard it underpredicts about 10-15 points for most

Got scores today. Got a 252 on nbme 19 with 11 incorrect, 262 on real deal. I was also told it underpredicts 10-15, which was true in my case

I got 244 on 19 and a 247 on the real thing. For my friends, it always underpredicted. The exact amount varied a lot. For some weird reason, those who took their STEP1 before the question bank switch in early May, NBME 19 underpredicted their scores more relative to those who took it after.

Disclaimer: there are about 5 friends in each group. Not exactly a great sample size.

So you are saying the ones who took at before the change the difference was bigger?

Wow thats a great score! Congrats. How much time did you spend on your prep overall and how many hours did you study per day, if I may ask?

 

[aimingforthat45]
