Hello all,
I attend a medical school in the Caribbean. We are required to take the NBME Comprehensive Basic Science Self- Assessment exam ("The Comp") and required to post a scaled score of 64 in order for the school to certify us to sit for USMLE Step 1.
Are the Comp forms sold by NBME the same exam that I will be sitting for? I.E., if I purchase say NBME Form 7 is there a chance that this will be the same exam that my school will administer?
Thanks for any advice, especially from Caribbean med students in the same position!
