OK here is what I have found out:
1- It depends which NBME you took because in theory NBME 1 is the easiest NBME2 is the one that looks more like the exam and NBME3 is the hardest one.
2- Some people say that the magic number to have at least a passing score in step2 ck is 450 wile others say that actually 400 is the magic number to at least pass the exam.
I have seen people with 450 in NBME 1 that have passed the exam in the high 70's and others that have failed in the 73-74 range.
I would love to know what other people think. The problem is that for Step 2 CK people tend not to be so supportive like when you are taking Step1.
I ask about people scoring a 400 or 440 in NBME1 What can they expect in the real exam?
Depending ion the response I get I might even make this a stiky.
