Hi all!
i have an important question regarding the NBDE scoring process. I recently took my part 1, and i have been told that the scoring process to determine the percentile is based on the performance of all the other candidates who took the exam along with me that day;
Contrary to this, is what I have heard from another source that the percentile score obtained is based on the performance of mine compared to the performance of a set of established candidates who took the exam in 1982?? which of the above is true, and which should one hope to be true to be optimistic and obtain a better score??
all replies to this question would be highly acknowledged.
Regards,
K'jal🙂
