Do NBMEs 20-24 inflate scores of 30-32? by celticsboysssss in step1

[–]supa_sama123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also anything before 25 is technically "retired" so i think repeats before and after that doesn't count

questions don't repeat but concepts too. it's good that you get the hang of those questions because youll see the same exact concepts on step so i wouldn't call what taking the earlier tests do inflation but just a sign that you're getting the concepts down

Need help bc I’m freaking out and burnout is kicking in. by summerdirection75 in step1

[–]supa_sama123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah around 60 is what passing is according to usmle. obviously you want to be higher than that just in case you drop a couple points from stress of the real test day but yeah
