I've noticed that Uworld has released a new self assessment for step 2ck. Has any one had an experience with it?
How good is it from prediction and quality point of view?

out for less than 1 week. no way to know how predictive it is for at least 3 more weeks, and then some.

I took the old UWSA as well, got 232 in the new one, 230 in the old one. I thought the new UWSA questions were VERY hard.
CK next week, will update when I get my score.

I took the UWSA I and II for step 2ck. Results were the same: 254. I will get my real deal in a couple of weeks and update.

There are things here that don't make sense.. "70% correct" in Derm is "0 percentile"..

Apparently for SA2... the difference between 60% and 65% moves you to the other side of the bell curve... (5% would be 8 questions on a SA)

There should be more transparency on this exam... this is terrible...
at any rate.. using the available data, we are all bright enough to draw our own conclusions... aren't we....

I got my result back. Here is the summary of all of my self-assessments:
1-NBME 4: 253 (3 months out)
2-NBME 6: 254 (1 month out)
3-NBME 7: 228 🙂)))) (1 month out- on the same day with NBME 6!!!!)
4- UWSA I and II : 254 (2 weeks out)

Real deal step 2 ck: 257!

Thank you so much for posting this! I got a 237 on UWSA1 three weeks ago, 237 on NBME 6 one week ago, and 209 on NBME 7 today. I had a freaking meltdown. I'm about a week and a half from test day.

I guess you did not get the memo...

For others that are reading this thread, stay away from NBME 7!

As a follow up, I took UWSA2 today and got 244. I know anything can happen on test day, but I'm feeling a lot better. 6 days til test day!

What are the odds that USMLE scores are released on July 5th (the day after a holiday)? I took mine on the 14th and the 5th would be 3 weeks exactly. I hate the waiting...how does a computerized exam take 3-4 weeks to get a score back? I'll never understand that.

Dropped from 237 to 230 between UWSA 1 and 2, so...I sure hope it tends to underpredict. I thought the UWSA 2 questions were way more vague and had more off-the-wall diagnoses. Interestingly enough, my percentile went up 2 points, yet lower in overall correct by 2 points and that apparently dropped me 7 points in the 3 digit score. I think my score got tanked in UWSA2 by one block that was 12% below the average.

As a final follow-up, I got a 246 on the real thing. It was probably the hardest test I have ever taken, and I walked out feeling absolutely awful. I was so relieved!

I got 238 on UWSA1 CK one month before my exam, and ended up getting 229 on the actual exam. 🙁

My step 1 score was 238...this means I dropped 19 points on CK.
