Hilarious BF! You may as well vote on the poll as an honorary DO. We all know where you would be anyway!!

I am no longer talking to your degreeless butt!! You had no right to outscore me on COMLEX. USMLE, I kindly gave that one to you, but COMLEX!!!?? Drinks are always on the high scorer don't you forget...and that holds true until the next board exam. Hate to be you!!

Ummm.. I see a flaw in your logic - If you're not talking to me, how can I POSSIBLY buy drinks? Or will you drink with your mouth shut??? 🙂

congrats on your scores too! We're really kicking @ss!

I don't know if you can really compare the two tests. They aren't really alike.

The USMLE is a lot more pathology and basic biochemistry intensive (areas that the DO schools don't emphasize as much)

The COMLEX is much more case oriented with emphasis in anatomy, social/psychological, and OMM.

Tex,
No one said you can compare the two. No one is trying to. I am only trying to see the correlation between the two in terms of how an individual student performs. And if you have been reading any of the posts, you will see that they seem to correlate rather linearly.

I really am sorry about that! I have never been good with stats. Maybe the moderator can help me change it because I can't seem to be able to find an "edit" choice for the poll.
