this made me curious and then I looked at the exam thread and tried it and it grossly missed the number. Constantly going over the actual number. But if you modify it to
2.44(uw%) + 70 . You seem to get within 3-4 points either way. Except for the one score that said he got a much higher score then expected.

Try it, in the score thread and you will see that its pretty accurate.

59*2.44+84 = 227
59*2.44+70 = 213
actual exam = 241 shocked

baydoc4usmle you actually "scru" the formula grin

I'm 11 points lower than you meaning I finsh UW with a 48, now repeating the UW, to learn in the areas I score really low.

48x2+70= 166 shaking head

I have heard of people raising their NBME scores by 100 points, and If I can do that I will be a happy men
