I was just wondering if anyone knows that the highest possible score is on STEP 1. I have to battle the Beast next week. I was just curious because I would like to know what a hypothetical 65% on a practice test would correlate to on the real thing.

Nobody seems to know and the USMLE has adopted the practice of deception and obfuscation.

Thanks, and good luck fellow patriots of Class 2006

No one knows the answer....

As far as what a 65% corresponds to, its impossible to say other than you'll very likely pass. If you had a really difficult test, 65% might around the average (?) or if you had an easier version, 65% might put you just above passing.

The highest score I have ever heard of is low 270s. But no one seems to know what the true upper limit is.

a girl at my school got a 280 last year. the high according to my micro professor was a 288.

According to one Step 1 official score report, most scores fall between 144 and 288, so draw your own conclusions

The highest score I've heard of is a 266...but the other scores here sure beat that! 😉

My friend got a 273, and he said that was really good.
