Seeing as I may end up here in 2008, I was wondering what how the Pass/Fail system actually works. Specifically, I was hoping to find out:
1. When you take an exam, do they tell you how you did compared to the average? Is a P/F only reported on your transcript? What kind of self assessment can you do based on feedback?
2. Does this add pressure to do well on USMLE 1?
3. Seeing as you start getting graded for your 3rd year clerkships, does this make for a competitive atmosphere when you start your clinical years?
Thanks!
