I'm a student at a foreign medical school and I just got my Step 2 scores back recently. I scored a 239/99, which I suppose is pretty good, although I'm not really sure. What does this mean? How much will it help me?

As people on this forum seem to like reading about study strategies, I'll add mine: I used UsmleWorld exclusively. I went through the whole q-bank about three times

1st time: 10-question sets with lots of note-taking
2nd time: 46-question sets with a lot of reading of the explanations
3rd time: 46-question sets to get the timing approximately right

The exam actually seemed more difficult than UW, although by the third time, I had essentially memorized the answers to lots of questions.

So, if anyone is interested in sharing their knowledge about this type of score, I'm interested, because I took the exam in a sort of vacuum where no one talks about or knows anything about the exam and the evaluation of scores..

Thanks..
