A couple weeks out from my test date... For anyone who has taken COMLEX, would it be a huge waste of time to pull out my anatomy atlas in order to brush up on NMS anatomy, cranial nerve/peripheral nerves, dermatomes, and general landmarks?

FA has been great, but they really skimp on anatomy so I don't feel prepared for it. I've been hearing from classmates who just took it that a lot of questions require you to know specific locations and anatomy that wasn't covered in FA whatsoever. Not sure if an atlas would be overkill though.

I actually think the most helpful thing is to go through the anatomy charts at the end of green book. I think it's overlooked alot, but I think it's actually really testable. To me It seems like the way nerves muscles and dermatomes are tested is how it is in green book. Also it's good for knowing origin and insertion stuff ie. What attaches to navicular v. Cuneiform v. Cuboid sort of stuff. I thought Form A comsae was helpful for practicing too.

I spoke to them today. If they don't release them by tomorrow (Friday), they are closed for the weekend and for the 4th (Monday) so we won't get them until the 5th

So there is a possibility they will release them tomorrow? I thought they didn't release scores on Fridays... Really do not want to have to wait all weekend!

There is no rule that says they never do it but they try to avoid Fridays because they don't want us to have to wait the weekend if there are problems. They said for sure it won't be over the weekend or Monday so that leaves a small chance on Friday, otherwise it'll be Tuesday

Anyone who has taken COMSAE form E: do you know of somewhere akin to the NBME discussions where I might be able to check out some answers? My internet search hasn't been fruitful (shocking...)

Wow. What a joke of a test. I was asked the same question literally 8 times with the exact same presentation. Other times there would be answers to a previous question on the same block, so you could go back and change the answer!

The greenbook didn't help for OMM.

Sounds like everyone else's experience.

Frustration is knowing that people who took the exam on Friday June 10th get their scores tomorrow while those of us who took the exam on Monday June 13 have to wait two more weeks 😡

You don't understand frustration unless you took your exam in May and were given a 7 day period of when scores could be released and of course releasing it the last day.

I can't even describe how happy I was to receive my score. COMLEX was a really ridiculous test and I walked out feeling as defeated as anyone. The following were my scores leading up to the actual COMLEX exam.


12/26/2015 – COMSAE C - 457
1/17/2016 – COMSAE A – 520
2/17/2016 – COMSAE B – 500
3/4/2016 – COMSAE E – 564
3/13/2016 – Uworld Assessment 1 - 209
4/15/2016 – NBME 12 – 198
4/29/2016 – NBME 13 – 205
5/21/2016 – NBME 15 – 237
06/03/2016 – Uworld Assessment 2 - 239
06/04/2016 – NBME 18 – 241

Uworld First Pass – 64%
Uworld Second Pass – 78%

COMBANK Second Pass – 75% (Don’t remember 1st pass)

COMLEX: 705

Good luck to everyone!

Wondering if DIT + Savarese is enough to be adequately prepared just to pass COMLEX Level 1? Not looking for a great score
