Took Comlex in June, scores just posted.

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I took the exam june 12th.

off the nbome site:


"COMLEX USA Level 1 CBT scores for June 2006 have been released."
 
Does anyone know how to really read the comlex scores. I have read what is online, but I still wonder what exactly constitutes a good score for something like dermatology or ortho. Can anybody help out with score interpretation?
 
What's a good score?...what constitutes the 90th percentile...500 is passing, but that's about all I can figure out.
 
I think 400 is passing for step 1 and 2 COMLEX and 350 for 3. 500 is the mean and SD changes. I think for the current test its about 120.
 
dude what the hell is a decent score?! some say 600, some say average is fine, i'm not sure how to feel...

congrats man!!! i knew you could do it. btw, i gotta add you to my myspace thingy. i haven't forgotten, i'm just lazy.
here's to hoping that our class had a good pasisng rate.

using 79 as the SD, 90th percentile would fall somewhere in the 620 range. +/- 95.5% is around a 650. These are just estimates, but they should be close.

Having said that I still have no idea what a good Comlex score is.
 
Chalk up another one in the win column for our class! checked my scores yesterday, and I even managed to beat the mean! congrats to everyone, here's to an impressive pass rate for COMP (hopefully). cheers!

Did you happen to see your scores the day there was a mishap back at NBOME in August (they posted all the scores) - if so, was your official score the same as the one posted that day? I saw my scores that day, but they went off since I took it in late July...now I"m just waiting!!!:scared:
