Step 2 Uworld average score higher than Step 1 Uworld average?

[Saladin MD]

So when I did Uworld for Step 1, I thought it was pretty hard, but I'd always be reassured by the average percent thing at the end, which would say "32% of students got this right."

But it seems for Step 2 that the scores are higher...Usually at least 60% of students get questions right...Any time I'm like "oh hey, a question I know", it's like 95% of students got that right. :'(

Is it just me or do people score higher on Uworld Step 2 than Uworld Step 1? And what does that mean?

I'm getting a bit discouraged here...

step 2's average is about 223 vs about 215ish for Step 1, standard deviation i believe was 20 for my brothers exam 4 weeks ago. That means a 248 and your still in not that high of a bracket relatively haha

Sigh. 🙁

I'm getting my butt kicked by these ECG questions. I totally start panicking when I have to read an ECG.

I can't believe people do Uworld TWICE. I'm running out of gas and I haven't even finished half of it. This is soooooo draining.

I did one set of 46 randomized questions today and got a 78% (woo hoo!), but then got a 63% on the next one. 🙁 Oh well, I'm definitely improving. Uworld is really teaching me how to predict the answer. I think I'm doing fine now...just need to increase the number of questions I do per day!
