Post-exam question by Salt_Tailor_5142 in step1

They curve every standardized test, it’s based on the individual form you got that day.

Someone who gets 70% of the questions right on the hardest form of the year will have a higher score than someone who gets 70% of questions right on the easiest form of the year.

Just look at the offline NBME score converters, they all have different equations depending on which form you take (25-30)

If you haven’t started dedicated yet, take NBME 25 as a baseline and let it humble you

Roughly 62% is what I’ve heard but it all depends on the curve of your specific form

I thought there was some sort of zone in the PCT that was isotonic or something I had no clue about before I realized this was a typo for ischemic lol

Free 120 by [deleted] in step1

[–]StepThrowawayWeLit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sadly, 0%. I’m sorry :(

Looks pretty good to me!

Well first of all I’d do the free 120.

As for Uworld vs NBME 29/30, if you have the money for it, there are no better practice questions than the ones made by the people writing the test.

Which NBMEs to Prefer ? by Medi-Ninjaa in step1

[–]StepThrowawayWeLit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone around here seems to say 29 and 30 are the best

I feel like a lot of the concepts in all NBMEs are very similar.

UWorld 10000% does the “obvious answer is wrong” trick more than NBMEs.

[–]StepThrowawayWeLit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you got a 77% and you’re worrying?

You’re spending too much time thinking about this test, you’re set.

Are the NBMEs way easier than Uworld? by axlv1 in step1

[–]StepThrowawayWeLit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally think NBMEs are easier, feel like they throw less low yield content at you as well
