Test Date: Dec 18th 2006
Score reported Oasis: Jan 17th
(oasis trick: passed)
Date received: Jan 19th

nbme 2 : 530 226/90
Usmle CD : 82%
UW: 65-70%
Usmle Rx: 75%
I did not do K qbank at all, ONLY: UW , Usmle Rx, Goljan path.

USMLE STEP ONE SCORE: 226/90

GOLJAN ROCKS!, a lot of it in the real test, as well UW.
Advice:
LISTEN GOLJAN! as much as you can,
do not read negative posts in any forum,
keep positive ,
Study hard,
read a lot and UNDERSTAND the concepts,
sleep and eat good (healthy),
I took out my dogs twice a day: exercise!,
do ALL UW & Rx questions,
get a good night sleep before the test,
and the day before the test : DO NOT STUDY, relax your mind........
use earplugs during the test,
take energy drinks , "tic-tac", energy bars for the breaks.
I did breaks every block.
And the most important!:Pray a lot!.You can accomplish anything with God beside you!

Maybe the 2-digit scores are different because they took the test on diff. dates, and their tests were normalized due to the impact of the experimental questions and/or the performance of all other test takers of that same batch. I have asked this question here before, about whether or not this occurs, but no one has responded yet, I don't think.

To Goldensnow & Drjaspal19

Goldensnow, I have been asking in other places and I got the same explanation that MDiva gave you, because I was curious also when I saw the others' score compared to mine, it seems to be that the 2 digit score is a percentile and depends on those two factors, and in the NBME form2 I got 530 which correlates according to the NBME results to 226/90 in the real test, and that was exactly what i got. So, I assume that the best NBME form to correlate with the real test is No2, at least worked for me. Anyway I am very happy with my 90 , I began to study already 1 month ago for my step2 and let's see if I can get a higher score.
Thanks for the good wishes DrJaspal19, good luck to you too..........
