Hi peeps,
So I just did my surgery shelf, and found it fairly challenging. There were a good 25-30% of the questions I found challenging. I was able to reason through some of the challenging ones, but I know of 9 questions of the challenging ones already that I got wrong. My school's criterion for honors is at least 85th percentile on the shelf, so I am genuinely nervous, as I want to go into surgery, and so a lot is lying on the line here.
What does 85th percentile equates to in terms of % correct? Also, for those who did well on the shelf, how did you feel coming out of the exam?
