Now that I have your attention .
Because all the time I dedicated to step1, sometimes I see this step2ck like something new. Anyhow this is the thing
Traditinally NBME score have been the best predictor for the exam, and if you are able to get 400 you would at least pass the test.
Now this is the thing, many people I have seen to score more than 400 in NBME for step2ck and FAIL the exam
So my question to the seniors of step2 ck, what actually is the lowest score to be in the safe side 450 or more?
Is the NBME as good predictor as it was for step1? or is it something fishy with step2 ck NBME predictions?
thanks

i am also in the search of nbme prediction for CK..
.In my opinion ,one nbme test is not real perdiction of ur actual score in CK. so ,all three Nbme can tell better where we stand.
Nbme form1 - is just for preparation level- if u score 400 means u need more efforts., if you score 450 -u need lil bit review, if above 500-surely u will do good.
Nbme 2 form above >450 --means pass , nbme form above 500 means--good score also.,,,
NBME form 3-- is bit difficult then nbme form 2.
so all 3 NBME forms are differnts
i most rely on FORM 2...as it has been discussed in forum so many times.. NBME form 2 is more indicative of actual score.
Above mentioned is my own opinion...lets see other guys view also
Thanks.

well, don't know if it will be helpful for you...my NBME was equivalent to 208-210 (about 1 month before the exam) and I had 242 on real exam.
was it predictive - I don't think so? was i scared of not passing? for sure....
one one rule i found to be very true - do not do any "let's-ee-how-i-do" at least 2 weeks before the exam (definitely not less than that).
if you do well, you won't do worse than that (given you won't be sitting around doing noting 2 weeks before the exam), but if you are not happy with the results, you won't have enough time to improve it, but your anxiety level will be higher for sure, which is not helping at all
