School bought NBME Comprehensive Clinical Science Exam

[Light Yagami]

Has anyone taken the NBME Comprehensive Clinical Science Exam ("Comp") paid for by their school? My school just instituted a policy where they won't allow us to sit for Step 2 CK unless we score a 76 (which correlates to a 215 on Step 2 CK) on this exam taken at Prometric.

I'm wondering how hard this is to achieve. Thanks.

It's VERY reasonable to achieve. Especially if you're an AMG (not me). Most people on this forum (not me) could do better than that before studying.

Does anyone know what is the correlation with correct questions to get a 76 on the CCSE? Thank

Depends on the particular form that is being used. A 215 should be about 75% or so. And getting a 215 should not be something to worry about. The new passing for step 2ck is 209 so Id think most would want to be able to get a little bit above the bare minimum of passing regardless of when they start studyig

How many forms do they have? Are the self assessment (CCSSA) available on the nbme website used for the CCSE, I'm sure they aren't lol but no harm asking.

If you're Light Yagami, it's quite easy.
