to shohreh, UW scores shud be more than 60% at least! so that u can be sure that u will pass and may score good! dont know exactly whats ur priority, to pass or score, but few of my friends who scored 50-55% in UW flunked in main exam. this is not to scare u but just to inform you that u need to put in more. again we don't give the exam , we take it and USMLE board gives it

i agree.....initially i use to get around 60 percent correct in UW. my fren told me to work hard so as to hav atleast 65. i left UW.......and went for a quick revision......in around 15 days i was having a minimum of 72 percent correct.....and on an avg...74. but one more thing i understood was that.....UW is not for ur assesment...its NBME... in short i wud say that UW correctly tells u the possible pattern of QUESTIONS....and also the variability.....with addition information regarding important topics. NBME actually lets u know how much u are done with ur prep. the patten of PAPER is exactly the same. i dont say...this is the way to sucess.....but see if it comes to any use. i advice u not to study anything extra...if ur exam is near...just brush up and revise again and again.....atleast 5 to 6 times before the exam......give nbme....see where u stand... before that.....no need to copy down or take snapshots of UW questions......dont keep more than 1 book for any subject.... suppose u take kaplan as standard....atlest revise it 3 times....and just write down the extra points or notes into this book from the UW.. and again revise... i feel u can do much better than that.... just keep up urself with confidence... and study study and study...

Shohreh: Go to exam score thread: http://www.prep4usmle.com/forum/thread/10309 Many people have posted their UW score + their USMLE score. YOU can compare your result to them and find out where you are standing. Wish you the best.
