Lets hear about study plans, best resources, and experiences for level 2.
Still nothing today!I guess the result is not coming out today?
So I was a BIG believe in book first, then questions, then book again. But speaking from experience, the books are really just not that useful. Unless your base knowledge is really really bad. Even then it's more efficient to just do uworld more (the questions you got wrong maybe).I know question banks are key, but what book is best...I am using Step Up to Step 2 and I hope that is sufficient with Savarese for COMLEX Level 2?
Anyone take the exam on July 24th and want to share his/her thoughts? I thought it was a horrendous representation of the test taker's medical knowledge... I can't believe I studied for 3 months for that exam... I'm so anxious to get the score, because I really walked out feeling like I failed :/
I took it July 20th and thought it was awful. I did all of combank, comquest and uworld and still felt like half the questions were on things I'd never seen before. The other half were reasonable, but with so many WTF questions it's hard to feel confident and I'm nervous to get my score back. The question stems were also much longer than on the COMSAEs and I found myself running out of time on most sections. The OMM questions were easy.
With a higher mean and higher standard deviation, the pass rate probably won't change that much from previous years, right?
I felt the exact same way about my exam on the 24th... except for me the OMM was next to impossible - probably the hardest part of the exam! The questions were nothing like anything that my school or any of my studies had prepared me for.... which is annoying cause I usually have no problem with OMM...
I talked to a classmate who took it the same week and had a similar reaction. I think I lucked out on my OMM content, or at least the OMM questions were doable compared to the questions about conditions I'd never heard of or with answer choices comprised of terms I'd literally never seen before. It was very a surreal experience after doing well on the COMATs all year, plus the COMSAEs and thousands of practice questions. I'm hoping some of those were experimental questions or that the tests are scaled by difficulty of the questions/test like they did with the MCAT.
Looks like those of us expecting a score release today won't be getting it
Day's not over. Do they only post in the morning?
Just talked to NBOME - the guy answering phones said scores are usually released before 4pm central time. Also, that they rarely release them on Fridays. So it looks like tomorrow.
Top 20% of my class.
Level 1 551
Level 2 632 (took 8/3)
Took COMSAE D about 1.5 weeks out and got a 630. Did uworld (60%), Comquest (73%), and watched a few DIT videos. Going for osteo EM-hope these scores are good enough.
Why do you say this?@lopeyay: You are not alone. it is obvious that NBOME muddled up the result of a good number of candidates this year
Supposedly this year, they are re-standardizing the test and a lot of people's scores will drop as a result. The goal is to bring that average back down to 500. Although it seems all the SDN gunners did not have that issue.Does anyone know if the scoring changed on COMLEX 2, and how?
