Kaplan Qbank USMLE

...should I take the CK anyway? I failed this exam once (score 130/51), and people say you have to take the NBME, and get 70 percent or better on it; I recently took the NBME and got a 200.

I am now doing WORLD, albeit slowly, and reading Kaplan based on the WORLD questions. I don't know what else I can do, because there's also the CS I failed to pass the first time around.

Why do they make it so hard and complex?

so nobody's going to answer? anybody else asks a question, they usually get an answer...


  #3

Is that 200 NBME 3 digit score before conversion or after conversion?


  #4

before conversion


  #5

dude no one is anwering bc ppl dont know wat 70% is, why not just purchase the nbme online, do it properly there, it wil give u assessment of which subj u have to work on and what u exact nbme score is, that way u can figure out it if it is good enuff or not. usually above 430 is passing, and 450 to be safe. if u had prev failed im sure u dont wish to again so i wuld suggest that route, yes?? hope it hlps u! best of luc!!

  #6

it will also be in timed mode, so that way u can really duplicate the testing experience, it is what i would suggest, and do a diff form if u dont wish to do same one, if u get good score on diff form, then yes u shuld take u exam b/c less likely to get 2 false nbme score reports, again hope it helps! grin

If it is NBME 3 digit score before conversion,then it is not a good score b/c NBME 200 is equal to <134 approx Step 2 CK 2 digit score.
In my opinion,study hard to improve ur score & try to get at least 400+ NBME 3 digit score to be on the safe side.

Which form did u take?
When is ur Exam?

he/she said it was before the conversion so it's not that, i think he/she said it was 200 out of all the blocks of q's.. who knows what that score is, that is why they had said '70%'.. anyways, im sure they understand this all now, best of luc!grin
