I took all the scores I could find on here and plotted out an equation to help predict one's USMLE Step 2 CK score based on your USMLE World Score: USMLE Step 2 score = 2.3(UW score) + 84 This had a correlation coefficient of .85, so there is some room for error, but it is a pretty strong correlation. Also, keep in mind that everyone's scores were not after the same amount of studying; some people did UW first, some did it until the day before, so their knowledge bases were likely somewhat different. Hope this helps. PS- If you score above a 70 on UW, evidently you will inevitably score a 99 on the real test...so says the data.

As I have posted before...the scores posted here are quite unrealistic. I really don't see middle high scores..only unbelievably high or failures...also the power of the calculation might be low...since not a lot of people have listed their result...But ur formula seems very interesting.
