i was wondering what was the numerical range of stupid and confirmed mistakes for step 1 passers?

0-5
5-10
10-15
15-20
OR
20+

I would say at least around 15-20. And I still got a good grade, so they were either experimental or the distribution was really skewed.

really? 15-20 stupid mistakes as in questions that you should have gotten but for time constraint and stress? I'm not talking about 50/50 answers where you can narrow it down to two, but those questions that for whatever reason, the mind was clouded at the time due to the time issue.

15-20 questions where I should've known the right answer and slapped myself silly a few hours after leaving the test center.

yeah i'm about in that same ballpark figure. i want to hit myself over the head with those ones.

it's not the out of the blue mistakes or wrong guesses (50/50) that bother me, it's those STUPID VERY STUPID mistakes that just kill me.
