Scoring well on repeat questions - what does that mean?

So these are my scores on the qbank... I wish I could get them higher... This is after about 1000 questions... should i see it rising?

I know that when I take these tests again... say a random set of questions I have already seen... I get 70-80% easily. But what does that mean? I mean... i've already seen the questions so my score is a null point right?

This is COMBANK... I still haven't passed my COMLEX... took it once... will take it again in November... I just need to figure out how to get it up. I would love to see 70% or something.

What do you mean, "what does it mean?" It means you've seen the question and remember it well enough to answer it correctly the 2nd time.

Still, it's a good way to reinforce topics. 2nd pass through the Qbank is a good thing to do.

Right... apologies for being persistent but I guess what i'm saying is... the first time around you haven't ever seen that question so you chances of it being a representation of your knowledge is pretty good... ie... its a good indicator of how well you will do on the boards... once you start getting repeat questions I would think that the correlation between how many questions you are getting correct on the repeat questions is significantly less.. well... significant. Right? Basically second time around its a crappy indicator of what you know... or not?

Or are the board questions simular enough that you will end up seeing a lot of repeat questions?
