Say you have dental decks down cold. Approximately, what could one expect to score on part one, without looking at anything other than the decks?

Goodluck for Monday!

Yah ! I think the most important thing is to stay calm and confident, scare the hell out of other people

talk to you guys after Monday

remember, many times, " all of above" is the answer, hahaha...

 

[Sarita_rs]

All of the above

roughly how many correct answers per 100 questions are required to score a passing grade of 75?

I saw somewhere (20 years old info) that only 40 out of 100 are required. That seems incredibly low considering pure random score is 20 to 25%.

Will someone PLEASE PLEASE tell me? My wife is sitting on pins and needles.

This info is from Part I of the NBDE on December 1998:

Anatomical Sciences:

Raw Score 46-47 = 75 in Standard Score
Raw Score 73 = 90 in Standard Score

Biochemistry/Physiology:

Raw Score 41-42 = 75 in Standard Score
Raw Score 71 = 90 in Standard Score

Microbiology/Pathology:

Raw Score 43-44 = 75 in Standard Score
Raw Score 69-70 = 90 in Standard Score

Dental Anatomy:

Raw Score 61-62 = 75 in Standard Score
Raw Score 84 = 90 in Standard Score

Pretty nice curves huh?

thanks for the info.

I suppose the raw score is BEFORE they discount the ~15 experimental questions, otherwise my wife will be in big trouble.
