I seem to get the same percentage on easy questions as the medium/hard questions... anyone else find this? I just did a little test to see the difference and it ended up within 5% of each other. Also in some of the easy questions, <20% got it right...


Anyone else find this to be true for themselves?

Also since I'm asking... for anyone who's done Rx and a NBME, would you mind sharing your scores? I don't have a NBME scheduled for two weeks and I'm kinda freaking out that my 60% Rx means I'm at a barely passing.

To be honest, I would be a little worried about 60%. What else have you done for prep?

I did most of the qbank (gave up on easy ones after a while) by subject over 3 months this semester, I think I ended it at around 74-75% average. It gets kind of repetititve but I thought it was a reallly really good qbank for pounding first aid. After finishing it I took the CBSE thing from the NBME and had a scaled score of 225 +/- 5. I think the best thing it does is pound first aid, and has definetly helped my transition into Uworld (have my average at around 70% now). Havent started on my NBME train, so can't help you there sorry.

I'm 10 days in right now.. just reading FA and then doing Rx.. I finish on the 15th at which point I was gonna do a NBME to see where I'm at.

I am reallllllly worried about the 60%! Like totally freaking out actually...

Thanks for the reply! That really helps

First 2-3 weeks of dedicated step time, I was averaging ~65% on Rx and made a 214 on an NBME.

The following 3 weeks I finished Rx at ~78% and made a 242 on an NBME.

Great! Thanks 🙂

I did about 400 kaplan qbank questions during the term and I was averaging about 55-58% on those as well, so I'm hoping the same translates to UW when I start it.

I actually did the same thing - a little Kaplan during the semester and most of Rx before starting Uworld. It definitely did help me out as far as doing average/better than average at the start of Uworld.
