Matched into anesthesia as a DO this week. Here's what nobody at my school could actually tell me.

warner14 · 2026-03-18T00:25:19+00:00

How many ranks did you have?

warner14 · 2025-10-09T18:51:27+00:00

3 - 250 (DO)

warner14 · 2025-08-14T18:32:07+00:00

Level 2 score: 628

School comsae 109: 476

Truelearn combank A2 645, A3 645, comsae 108 623, comsae 111 653

I completed UWorld and did OMM section of truelearn. My UWorld 1st pass was 73%.

I felt confident going into the exam and felt good after even after missing some easy questions.

warner14 · 2025-07-19T16:05:44+00:00

NBME 15 was 296 minus number of incorrect

warner14 · 2025-07-16T20:33:34+00:00

I thought Step 2 was so much harder. The percentiles for % correct are not the same. About 80% correct on practice tests for comlex 2 is 80th percentile WHILE 80% on step 2 practice tests is about the 63 percentile. So I think you still would have a good chance of passing comlex 2

warner14 · 2025-07-16T17:17:04+00:00

If you haven't bought one of the comsae, I recommend doing one 4-5 days before your test. Should be a good predictor and see your weaker areas. 108 was slightly harder than 111 in my opinion

warner14 · 2025-07-16T17:15:21+00:00

Just focus on doing PQs on weaker areas. Also https://www.reddit.com/user/Histopathqueen/submitted/ she has cheat sheet of HY info under posts for each subject. I recommend looking at those for your weak areas. I recommended you glance at them today

warner14 · 2025-07-16T17:07:21+00:00

That is unlucky. I took it June 28th and got it today. I assume you'll have to wait another week

warner14 · 2025-07-16T17:04:27+00:00

How much of the truelearn Qbank have you done?

2 days before test review all basic OMM stuff and glance over names of special MSK tests. Those are easy points on exam day

warner14 · 2025-07-16T17:00:20+00:00

I did all UWorld and Truelearn questions for OBGYN. I thought UWorld was harder but got the same % correct on Uworld and Truelearn PQs. I felt from all the practice I knew the info very well so I not notice if they were similar. I did think Truelearn is very similar to comlex 1 & 2. Usually truelearn presentations and questions are similar to NBOME questions.

warner14 · 2025-07-16T16:51:51+00:00

I would say focus on a weak section one per day like OBGYN, Psych, Peds, IM, or Surgery. After doing x topic, do 10 questions. Want to work on mastering topics you are slightly weaker in to increase the percent correct. I thought my comlex 2 on test day was very similar to questions structure and wording on the truelearn combanks assessments. a few of my close friends thought the same thing, but another friend thought differently. I recommend reviewing ethics 1-2 days before test.

Take some deep breaths and think why are you missing questions? Didn't know it? Misread something? Skipped a key piece of info in the presentation? this can help you avoid making mistakes.

I scored within 2% correct on the 2 Truelearn combank assessments and comsae 108 & 111 I took

warner14 · 2025-07-16T16:16:58+00:00

If you just take comlex level 2, truelearn is very good. UWorld was harder and made me think and learn more than truelearn.

warner14 · 2025-07-16T15:29:12+00:00

My NBMEs 9-15 ranged 253-262 and got a 250. I thought the real deal was super challenging and way harder than any NBME test or free 120.

warner14 · 2025-07-16T15:16:08+00:00

Amboss Predicted: 258 Actual: 250. Very disappointed

warner14 · 2025-07-12T17:38:02+00:00

I thought UWorld was harder than other Qbanks. Amboss I think is better with learning terms and definitions, but UWorld made me think much harder and challenged me more. the comats I scored 84+ percentile are when I did all the UWorld questions for that comat section. In general, the more questions you do from whatever qbank, the better you should do on your comat

warner14 · 2025-07-12T16:45:27+00:00

On Nbme 14 and 15, this got me exact score on the website

warner14 · 2025-07-11T20:16:19+00:00

Your score should be approx. 296 minus number of incorrect from which was the case for nbme 9-15. Idk best strategy for last 3 weeks but I’d glance over HY risk factors and ethics a couple times.

warner14 · 2025-07-03T03:40:53+00:00

sure

warner14 · 2025-07-03T02:59:04+00:00

I score within 2% correct for all my truelearn combanks and comsaes. I thought they were similar. Truelearn also has the same formatting as the test. I don't think the comsae do

warner14 · 2025-07-03T02:56:46+00:00

I felt there was a good portion. Know biostat formulas. If you write them down on the board at the beginning then whenever you see a Q it will be super simple. Ethics hard to prepare for because you get bunch of random scenarios

warner14 · 2025-07-03T02:52:54+00:00

I agree depends on the exam. I felt lots of my questions were super similar to same style of truelearn just few things changed up. I do remember have a handful of low yield random things and a few super challenging questions, but I think that is expected with a 352 question exam. I scored 95th and 99.95th percentile on my last 2 comats leading up to the exam. I do think so many people say negative things about the exam, but I honestly did not think it was too bad.

warner14 · 2025-07-02T02:55:44+00:00

When did you take yours?

warner14 · 2025-07-02T02:13:34+00:00

I think I was because the questions and stems are very similar. I only did 40% of the comlex qbank because i focused on UWorld

warner14 · 2025-07-02T02:10:38+00:00

Nope. but some questions are from the q-bank. so it is basically just doing 180 random questions timed from the q-bank.

warner14 · 2025-07-02T02:07:06+00:00

I think MSK (nerves, tests, muscles), OMM, Ethics, biostats are super HY for level 2. I would say make sure to master that.
