I heard that for Step 1, about 10-20% of questions are knocked off and don't count...

Is this true for Ck as well?

Thx,

I don't think anyone knows. It's not something NBME ever releases.

I read on one website it was 10%.

Who knows. The USMLE is such a mind **** 🙂 We know so little about it. It's an extremely long test, and it's difficult to actually prepare for in the sense that they can throw anything in the world at you.

Also, with 10%+ of the questions not counting, it's just downright evil, because we spend the 3+ weeks following the test thinking of every question that we saw, agonizing over them, and then they may not even count. Oh man! 🙂

Yes, but it's a nice thing to remind yourself of when youre taking the test.

"Crap, I don't know the answer to this one".........."it must be one of those stupid questions that aren't scored"....😍... "Crap, I don't know the answer to this one either"...... (repeat as necessary)
