Hello

I have the Kaplan simulated exam, and for what I know it only gives you the % correct that you have, overall and bt subject.

I have some statistics but anyhow

I have seen some post of people saying that they score a 200 or a 190 in the simulated test from kaplan, so my questions are:

1- Its there a different version or newer version of kaplan simulated exam?

2- What % correct I need to have correct in the kaplan simulated exam to PASS the test with at least a 200 or at least PASS the test?

thanks

A friend of mine scored 67% on the simulated Kaplan exam, and got a 235 on Step 1.

Thanks for the input.

How long before the test he took the simulated exam?

What kaplan officially says?

i dont know what Kaplan says, but i think he took the exam maybe 1 week later. By the way, his decision to take the exam was based on his NBME performance, not the Kaplan simulated exam.
