I know this has probably been asked many times before and I don't think anyone really knows the answer to this question since it is the biggest mystery in medical school, but how is the USMLE Step 1 graded, First Aid and Kaplan have different figures on passing scores ranging from 55-65%. Is this exam "curved" or is it 55-65% raw score that is passing? I took my test Nov. 6th waiting to hear back but very curious about the process. Any thoughts?
