How do you prepare for the USMLE and not know what average scores on it are like... most of us are obsessed with those stats long before we even begin studying.

Average on the USMLE is about 220 with a Standard deviation of ~20-22. I'm sure you can figure out where that puts you.

I think he's asking more or less how the assessments tend to correlate with the real thing. In other words, how did you do on the real thing compared to the self assessment score(s).

Well, you can find more information in the "Official" Step discussion thread in this forum, but from everything I've seen, they correlate pretty well with the real thing, especially when taken close to the exam. You have about 3 weeks to go, so you could probably bump it up another 5-10+ points. Good luck!

you can go through the usmle experiences thread and look at past pages, lots of people post what they made on the uwsa's and the nbme's and then what they made on the real thing.

they usually correlate pretty well.
