Hi - I am posting this on Allopathic forum, since hardly anyone who have already taken the test visits the Step2CK forums anymore.

I took Step2 CK 3 week ago, and is anxiously awaiting my score result. UWSA taken a day before the tests predicts a 250 - but I thought the real CK was much harder, and I guessed on a great deal of Qs. For those of you who have taken UWSA for step 2 CK - how predictive was it? Was it spot on?

I felt like death walking out of CK. I went home, drank 4 glasses of wine, ate 3 lbs of mashed potatoes, and fell asleep at 8:30. Its a long horrible day of torture.
UWSA- 256 (highest score of any practice test I took)
CK- 264
 
Thanks for your experience. I guessed on 1/3 of the Qs, another 1/3 I had to pick between 2 answers, and on half the blocks I had to race through the last 5 Qs. Did anyone else feel the same way?
 
Just got my score back today. Took the exam 3 weeks ago.

UWSA - 244 (only practice exam I took. I used it 1.5 weeks before the test)

Step 2 CK - 271

UWSA was low 240s or 250s I believe? Final score was 247.

Wish there was a UWSA to Step 2CK graph like the UWorld percentage right to final CK score like the sticky at the top of that forum.
 
Looks like I have to wait next week for my results. The wait is killing me.

Anyone else felt like they guessed on a whole bunch of Qs and was tight on time?? I looked up the answer to 10 Qs I marked, and I got ALL of them wrong. I would be happy with a 10 point drop and score 240, but is this common?!?!
 
UWSA 256
Step2 CK 249

I came out feeling like I scored 215.
 
It underestimated my score by 20+. I also thought it was much harder than the real thing. I can't really focus when doing practice tests like I do in a real testing situation.

7 point drop is not too bad. UWSA predicted me at 254 - I would be happy with a 240 now. Anyone else have UWSA overestimate them??
