I want to collect the "usmle step 1 score" and "NBME" scores so that we can have a better review for correlation.... So anyone who has taken the test is welcomed to post your results here... Thank u so much indeed !!! smiling facesmiling facesmiling facesmiling facesmiling facesmiling facesmiling face

Actually, when you take online CBSSA's, the NBME will provide you with a score correlation chart - this correlation is based on how people with known USMLE scores performed on the respective CBSSA's. In short, what you want to compile already exists.

Check this article:

journals.lww.com/academicme...rmance_on_the_NBME.26.aspx

Just from the abstract, the following is evident:

Unless you gather a lot of scores that are representative of all test takers and perform a whole lot of statistical analyses, your attempt at correlating CBSSA scores with USMLE Step 1 scores will fail.

Sorry if I'm discouraging you, but what you want to accomplish cannot be done - unless you have access to NBME's data... smiling face
