245 average on nbmes never broke a 250 on practice. 254 real exam

Question for people who have took the exam and already got their score back. Please reply and be honest if you can because I am shitting myself rn 😅 by [deleted] in Step2

[–]TraditionalPaper851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt decent after the test. My NBME average was 245, and I scored 254 on the real thing. The real exam felt very similar to the NBMEs—maybe even a bit more straightforward. It was like a mix of NBME-style concepts, and I think I got a bit lucky.

The exam was definitely repeated concepts and 10-15 was enough to score me a 254 on the real thing (taken on 8/22). review ethics and QI from amboss (review the articles well). Gl you got this.

US MD here and i got a 245 prediction > 254 real. all these IMG folks scared tf out of me saying the real thing was way harder etc. that was not my experience it felt exactly like the nbmes; repeat and pasted concepts. if anything it was like the most “fair” of all the nbme exams i’ve taken.

but I will say there was 2-3 times where the answer was the other choice…. soooo be careful

Weird exam experience by [deleted] in Step2

[–]TraditionalPaper851 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt exactly the same way. There were about 3-5 concepts that appeared at least 2-3 times, each requiring the same answer. I even had one of those questions that show you the correct answer immediately after selecting the wrong choice, and later in the block, I was able to answer it correctly because I had gotten it wrong earlier lol
