Hi new..

I just see your posts and really appreciate your mature comments.May I ask you one question that you might answer from your experience of this forum.Can't NBME 1,2 & 3 reasonably predict outcome with out NBME 4 ?This is a general question and should not be refered with the previous Q. Thank you.

u dont have to take all 4 forms... the closest corelation is nbme 2 and 3....

mind u im just saying this coz of wat i'v read and re-read over n over on this forum and some others....



all the best

kaplan RESIDENCY EXPERT ON KAPLAN WEB SITES SAYS THAT NBME 1 IS THE CLOSEST TO REAL EXAM. KAPLAN RECOMMENDS NBME 1 FOR A CLOSER PREDICTION.

I dont think that NBME 1 is closer to the real thing, I personally know 11 people that score more than 390 on NBME 1 and fail the test.

So NBME1 I dont think sodisapproval.

What people tend to say actually is NBME 3 is the closest thing to the real test.

Tell me about it Im geting the bigbig right now.

For some reason something tells me that this reply looks rude, because I dont feel well Im not seen where but If it is I apologize and edited when I have a clear mind

Over 390 means exactly what?........391, 392, 393, 394, etc. I know of 20 people from my class who have already taken Step 1 and passed. Every person took at least NBME 1. Their Step 1 scores fell within 10 points of the NBME 1 score. One guy actually thought he failed the exam, and then scored 15 points higher than his predicted score.
