I have a question on the USMLE Step 1 scoring system.
7 blocks, with 350 questions, if I get 300 out of 350 correct, that means I would score about 85%? Or does this score of 300 out of 350 be matched to another list for a scoring over 100%?
And in your experience with the exam system, is a 300 good enough?
 
check out the usmle forum....you'll see that the scoring system is quite an enigma and that no one really knows what exactly how they do their thing at the nbme
