Hey, today I received my Step 1 Score and I guess i should've seen it coming but I'm not too pleased. 218/92 .

Honestly I'm not sure where I stand in terms of competitiveness, i understand it's close to average but on the low end. Can someone help me translate this. And what exactly is the 92? researching it all i gather is that its not a percentile. Thanks for your help Good luck to those taking Step. For predictive purposes heres list of my scores on practice nbme's

NBME 5 209
NBME 7 220
Uworld 68%

this score is good enough for most specialties.

That score's sufficient. Looks like the NBME predicted it with reasonable accuracy.

Don't worry about the 2 digit number. You're right that it's close to average and it's not a score that will prevent you from matching. If you are interested in doing something very competitive then you will have to work hard 3rd year and strengthen other parts of your app. It's not a score to be upset about. Good luck
