Please tell me, out of the 336 questions on the exam, how many do u need approxmilately to get right in order to pass??? how do they calculate the score. thx
 
im trying to be serious..

what score about? u figure about 70% raw score? there must be a converter somewhere?? no? there was for the mcat
 
we cannot predict what you need to pass, and since you are simply looking for someone to give you a percent, please understand that we dont know. overall tho, the NBME exams have been good predictors of one's step 1 performance so once you get to that part of your prep, your performance on these exams may give you a general sense of how you are doing.
 
And why are you concerned about what the "pass" mark is? Create a goal for yourself based on what your aspirations are, and set that as your own personal "pass". Surely you're not aiming just to pass Step I...?

(Yes, yes, I realize we all just want to pass and it's a hard test and all that, but realistically your own performance goal should be centered around something more than just that arbitrary, low, bare minimum score to pass)
