hi everyone, im a step 1 retaker and wanted an opinion from everyone.ive been doing Uworld since august 29th. so far have done 14 mixed blocks of 46 questions on tutor mode. thoroughly going through the explanations and writing pages of notes. my average so far is 63% ranging from scores of 58% to 69%, but mostly keep consistently getting a 63% on half the blocks.

are these averages good?! hypothetically, if i end up finishing Uworld with a 63% average, what kind of Step 1 score can i expect? please let me know your thoughts!!! 😕

kaplan qbank 57% correlates to 221? don't believe it 😛

I really don't think the % correlates to anything, at least I wouldn't say it has any significant correlation.

I've seen people who have mid 50's scoring 230s, and people scoring mid 70's scoring 210's, so it really shouldn't be used to determine any 3 digit step score.

I'm averaging 57% at kaplan and I honestly doubt that I would get an 221 on the actual test lol maximum 200 I believe..

I think the last few blocks can be more accurate, if they are accurate, and they must be consistent. I believe the best predictors are NBMEs

We compiled a small thread using the "magic" formula awhile back and the formula seemed to hold up pretty well....see for yourself:
