Hey everyone just wanted to write and say that I was so worried before taking step II since I was doing USMLEworld Qbank and was scoring in the high 50's low 60's rarely. I think my overall was around a 53% with only 1600 questions completed. I got my board scores last week and I got a 87 % / 214 which was nice since I didnt do that good on the step 1. Well good luck everyone with there exams 🙂

Is a 214 below the average? What is the average score written on your test score?

Do YOU have below average social skills? For crying out loud, people. A little tact would be nice. If not for your patients, perhaps for your colleagues?

That's fantastic, AntGod. You should be proud of your improvement! Best of luck to you.

AMEN Sophie Jane... I forewent the response re: ShahPatel's comment because I didn't know where to begin... you summed it up nicely.

That's awesome...I suppose I should be encouraged that I have a good chance of passing the exam this time, b/c I had a 64% avg on 1380 UW Qs...a year ago I had a 50% avg on 1650 Qs, close to yours, but only got a 179 on my test. Even with the improvement on UW, I am still a bit worried that the same old F word will show up again.
