I searched but didn't find anything (a few posts from 2004, but not much).

While this is highly variable, how much has your Qbank % increased?

What was your starting % & where are you now? (of course, how far into your studying are you?), etc.

Just curious about what's likely. TIA

~100 people have peaked, but no replies? Anyone willing to share their expeirence with those of us just starting out on qbank?

I have three months to take my exams and I'm an early kicker and doing that thing like 100q/day, random, including everything from 1st to 2nd years and things we haven't covered yet( endocrine, renal, GI pathophys, just rely on those by quick reading FA).I read everything in 1st aid and my overall average is like 56%. Am I frustrated?Yes but I have 12 more weeks to study and see what will happen if I pick another q bank..What about your experience?

I started within the 40's and after about 15% complete and studying I was at 60ish. I'm at 50% complete and am at 70's. It suck at first, just keep at.

Thanks for sharing! I would share my story but I'm just starting this adventure (have only done a few questions to see what Qbank is like & how it works).

I really appreciate people sharing their experiences! As I do more questions, I'll gladly share!

Started around 40%. Ended up @ 60% or a little higher. Averages near the end ranged from 50% - 76%

 

[ENThopeful]

started @ 50%, now consistently getting 60-75%. The averages have been catching up too.. which is weird.

ENThopeful, what do you mean "the averages have been catching up too?" Thanks for sharing!

I think ENThopeful means that the averages of all Qbank users for whatever set of questions he/she has been doing have also gone up.

My progression has the been same as ENThopeful's. It takes time but you'll see a rise, especially since alot of the same concepts get hammered repeatedly.

well initially, i did very badly, in the 50s, but the average were in the 50s. I am doing better now, but so is everyone else! 😛

And I agree with the above post, the same points get repeated over and over and over again. As one of my friend told me, and not to sound too gunnerish, 85% of the questions, everyone is going to get. its about the last 15% that makes the real difference.

I get what you are saying, but if everyone got 85% of the questions,
then everyone (ie. the average), would be a 250++ on the Step 😉

LOL, yeah seriously.
