Can somone please tell me how the USMLE 1 is scored and what designates a great score as oppossed to a bad score? How are the % given? Because I keep reading from posting a 247 is great and a 201 is bad. These mean nothing to me.

Is it also the same for Parts 2 and 3?

Thanks,
Heme-ONC

for step 1, passing is 182, the mean is 215 and the SD is about 20. thus 201 is not so good; while 247 is great.
