ghizou, when did your friend take the exam?
i heard that you can add 15 to get your percentage (not 2 digit score) on the real thing. don't think that's terribly accurate,though. kaplan says you should score at least 60 before they recommend you take it in order to safely pass. most people at my school score in the 60s on the simulated and the usmle avg is about 5-10 points above avg on the 3 digit score.

My husband scored 64% on the simulated exam and got a 90% on the actual step 1. But that was 1 yr ago...he's a resident now. Hope that helps boost ur confidence!!
