[QUOTE="ramsesthenice, post: 19219652, member: 437409"] I can't say that I am surprised. I know several people involved with developing the exam and for the last few years there has been talk of bringing down the pass rate. Certain people feel its too high and have thought that for a while now. Talking to our residents and the ones at my former program it sounded like a substantially harder test than I took last year. They may have finally acted on it. I don't know if that logic applied to the clinical writtens too but it might have. That test was almost as hard as any in service I ever took and disproportionately focused on obscure topics. It wasn't really what I (or my co-residents and friend circle) expected based on our attendings and former co-resident's experiences. Good luck to everyone. This is frustrating but its is what it is. Nothing we can do about it now. [/QUOTE]
