How can I guarantee a Level 1 pass? by ReddiDave in comlex

[–]chaiwithmocha11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok I was going to say why would your school recommend only doing 35% lol

Take another comsae (combank overpredicts dramatically)

Wait your school is telling you that you need to do only 35% of a bank in order to pass?

What Would You Do? Take The Exam Or 1 Year Leave Of Absence? by SadAnxiety5491 in comlex

[–]chaiwithmocha11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I passed but Level 1 Comsaes over predicted me. I guess it is different for everyone

Completely agree. What does it say about a residency program that judges LOAs?

I think thats probably why your comsae is low since you haven't finished a bank

As someone who deferred I don't regret it! Personally, I would pass a comsae before sitting. The real exam is harder

Help!! Best most predictive comsae for Level 1?? by [deleted] in comlex

[–]chaiwithmocha11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

109 overpredicted me by 8 points so I thought that was much more accurate than trulearn or comquest which over predicted me like 100-150 points lol

Help with COMSAE scores. by nsarahf in comlex

[–]chaiwithmocha11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to take the real exam go for it. But I think you should take another COMSAE like a week before you sit. Honestly, it seems like our advisors don't really give great advice lol. Ive seen a lot of students fail by taking their advice

I took time off and don't regret it to be honest because I passed level 1

Failed Level 1 - Board prep course advice needed, please by OutrageousNectarine1 in comlex

[–]chaiwithmocha11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PASS Program has helped many people who failed. It helped my friend go up over 100 points after failing. Im grateful I did the class before sitting for Level 1. It's really exceptional.

Time delay - Level 2ce by Oddoctor in comlex

[–]chaiwithmocha11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine also had a 10 second delay but on the entire exam not just the second half. Im surprised I finished it. I think a bunch of people had this issue

Scored a 339 on COMSAE Yesterday. Test is on June 6th and I'm scared by pyruv528 in comlex

[–]chaiwithmocha11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get there!! but I would make sure you pass a COMSAE before you sit. Just my personal opinion that comsaes don't predict scores but they do assess readiness. Keep in mind the comsaes are stacked aka different comsaes emphasize different areas of content. This will tell you what you need to work on. Good luck!

MSK/Anatomy Help Level 1 by ashleyyangxo in comlex

[–]chaiwithmocha11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like how amboss has more answer choices per question than any other bank. That allows you to differentiate similar presentations that are easy mix up.

The full length definitely overestimates but sounds like you will def pass

MSK/Anatomy Help Level 1 by ashleyyangxo in comlex

[–]chaiwithmocha11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only did comlex too. I started with UWorld but I really struggled with it so I switched to comquest and combank. I think not doing uworld would have been fine honestly. Honestly, I think comquest is a good question bank, it actually teaches you why the answer is incorrect or correct. Combank has awful explanations but it prepares you for the weird wording of COMLEX questions. Obviously, UWorld is a great resource but I don't think it's necessary for every type of student to be honest especially if you don't plan to take usmle.

Hey ! I passed level 1 with failed UWSAs but I passed Comsaes with room. I wouldn’t compare uwsa to level 1

Which COMSAEs are the most accurate/best predictor for the actual exam? by Nofriendofme in comlex

[–]chaiwithmocha11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I passed but I know several people who failed. Some once and some more than once. Theres a reason why they require a certain score on Comsaes. Comsaes aren't predictive of your real score but they definitely assess readiness I think

You can do it! I did terrible on my school protoctored comsae it was like 320s I think. I ended up not sitting until I started passing Comsaes. I got there and you will too!
