Taking Step I on Monday and am a bit nervous. Some of my self-assessment is reassuring, and some unnerving.
Q bank -- 93% done, 73% correct, but that score includes many repeats and most of my blocks were not random subjects.
Kaplan CD that came with the 2004 home study pack -- a train wreck 5/7 blocks done, only 58 - 62% correct (this test felt extremely difficult)
USMLE 150 released items on PDF -- 80% correct; this test seemed very easy.
So where in the world do I stand? Obviously, there is not too much that I can do between now and Monday. However, I'm curious if anyone else had a similar experience with these tests and can tell me what to expect on the real thing, just for my mental health.
I'm not a typical SDN'er -- if I break 220 I will jump for joy, anything between 200 and 220 will be just fine, and even a <200 pass doesn't sound too bad at this point.
Cheers,
Trajan
