Recently took Step 3 and foundout I failed with 180. I am a bit surprised. Does anyone know what 180 translates to? Did I miss the cutoff by alot or a few questions?
Also, any suggestions for the next go round. I used crush the boards and USMLEWORLD questions the first time. I really need to pass it this time around.
Any suggestions would be great. Thank you all. This forum has been great.

i think you failed by a couple or very few questions, that's bad luck, i guess.

I thought just the opposite. I thought that the closer to the passing score the more question would have to be missed per point deducted?
Also does any one have any recs as to what I should do differently this time. I can't fail this thing again.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Massni, do UW again and study the answers, do QBank and stick to one book (Strong Medicine for Step 3 in my case). But the most important is, don't go to the test center if you are scoring below 360 on NBME. Generally a score above 60% in Kaplan is good enough to pass. Hope this is helpful. Good luck next time.
