nbme score 550. Is it good one? - drtak - ArchivalUser - 09-04-2011
I just finished nbme (CCMSA) and I got score 550. But I have no idea how good (or bad) it is. Can you give me some idea about that score?
My creds are step1 241/ step2 ck 243, so I wanna get a high score on step 3 as well.
I will take the real exam in this November.
Thank you for your help.

@broom53: thank you so much. GL to your step3
@sut30: actually, i don't know. I mean I just took it without any preparation. I took my CK in this July, so my knowledge from that study was fresh. Also, I am currently working as a internal medicine resident in my country, managing so many inpatients and emergency cases, I learned essential medical knowledge from everyday practice, real patient cases. I think I learned a lot from "pocket medicine" (written by MGH residents. Lippincott). So if you have time, you can try it.
I prepared OBGYN by reading blueprint once and UW step2CK OBGYN questions once.
The same as for psychiatric preparation. I read blueprint and did UW.
I know my case is "atypical" and I think I cannot help you much. But I hope you do great in nbme and the real exam. Thank you.
