if u pass the 1st comp, can u still take the second comp? i heard somewhere that once u pass the comp, u cant take it again (but this was last semster). i am talking about NBME comp (not the kaplan comp)

You can take two comps. So if you pass the first one, you can take the second one or the third one, but not both. If you really want to take all three, you need to fail the first two.

From what I heard, if you pass first one you can only take second but not the third

They let me take the comp three times. For the last one, Dr. Y. let me be an "extra", so if there was an extra test, I could take it. There were quite a few extras. I figured it was good practice for the Step and I was going to maximize my tuition dollar.

i would like to take it as much as possible too, but if not, i guess two comps and all the shelf exams will have to suffice

ooooooooooo weeeeeeeeeee it's comp time at AUC. I could never figure out how they did get the 2 digit scores. Just remember when in doubt pick C, at least kaplan says so.
