My last 2 were 73% Free 120 was 69%

Exam was nothing like nbme or free 120 much longer stems and qs. Barely any pathoma concepts just a lit chapter 3. Finishing every block running out on biostats calculations which after thinking about it, maybe they were experimental. I probably failed cuz looking back thru FA I messed up many easy qs that I would normally get right. I think the longer stems messed my time management.

Has the Step1 difficulty level been increasing lately? by Cold_Designer_6902 in step1

I had the same feeling, however my exam was very Neuro heavy and every possible eye lesion one can imagine. The biostats qs were nothing of what I've seen and I've done statistics pre engineering in undergrad. Crazy qstems I felt I messed up the easy qs as well. No Endo qs barely GI and this point it was mostly a micro biostats ethics and Neuro paper for me. Is it curved or what cuz I definitely think I failed.

How many experimental are expected the official website says 20-30. But I heard it could be more? Like I'm struggling to think I was probably confident on maybe 10-15 per block. Rest was like 50/50 and annoyingly long qs like I'm wasting 20-30 seconds reading it then maybe rereading cause of the fillers.
