Currently, I have been prepping for the COMLEX since the beginning of my 2nd year. Ideally, I know that as medical students that we should be mastering the material that we learn throughout 1st and 2nd year. However, I know that some do not do that and therefore, use a month to 2 months to prep for the USMLE or COMLEX.

And it had me thinking, do most students take their boards late in june because they have not prepped during the school year and wait until May to start cramming?

Also, how is the COMLEX scored? Score averages of the day, week, or ?
