Correlation between USMLE Prometric Practice Test Scores

The US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) is a comprehensive, multi-part examination that assesses a physician's knowledge, skills, and abilities in areas such as medical sciences, patient care, and medical professionalism. One of the key components of the USMLE is the Step 1 exam, which is a pass/fail assessment that evaluates a student's understanding of clinical sciences relevant to the practice of medicine.

In addition to the actual exam, students can use various practice materials and question banks to prepare for the test. Some of these resources include Prometric practice tests, Kaplan Qbank, USMLE World, and NBME self-assessments. By analyzing their performance on these practice exams, students can gain valuable insights into their strengths and weaknesses and identify areas that require additional focus.

For example, students who have taken a Prometric practice test may wonder how their scores correlate with the actual Step 1 exam score. Similarly, those who have used other question banks or self-assessments may be curious about the relationship between their performance on these resources and their ultimate USMLE score.

Fortunately, there are some general trends that can help students make sense of their practice test scores. For instance, research has shown that the NBME Self-Assessments are among the best predictors of USMLE performance. By reviewing their results on these self-assessments, students can get a better sense of how they will perform on the actual exam.

In this thread, we encourage students to share their practice test scores and question bank performances in an effort to help one another better understand the correlation between these scores and the actual USMLE Step 1 exam. By sharing our experiences and results, we hope that future prospective students can gain valuable insights into what to expect from their own practice test scores and how to use these resources most effectively.

Please note that this thread is intended for students who have taken the Step 1 exam and are looking to share their experience with others. We ask that you refrain from changing the topic or theme of the thread, and instead focus on sharing your scores and question bank performances in a way that is helpful and informative for others. If you have questions for one of the posters, please feel free to send them a private message (PM).
