I started out scoring in the 55 range, probably for the first 200 questions or so.

My cumulative performance puts me at 66% right now. The black line is the average score of all UW users on that question set, ideally you don’t want to be below that line, but I guess every med student uses UW so you could easily be below the line and still do fine on the exam. Since I take small tests there’s a lot of variation. The red line is each individual test I take, which is usually 10-20 questions. To explain the graph: the blue line is my cumulative performance, which has been rising (thank God). As an example, here are my stats through about a thousand questions. I think the score estimators are only really indicative if you do them in the designated study time and you just do sets of 45 random questions. On the other hand, if you take 40 anatomy of biochemistry questions you’ll probably get crushed. If you take an exam of 40 questions from the current block, or even last block, you’ll probably crush it because it’s fresh in your mind. The caveat to the score conversion is the way you choose the questions you take. I came across this equation: UW% * 2.3 + 84 = score estimate.Īccording to that equation a UW 50% would give you 199 which is passing, and the UW 75% would give you 257, so it might be a good estimate. The only other numbers I’ve heard is that my friend was scoring in the 75% range and got a 258. I heard somewhere that scoring above 50% will safely put you in the passing range. According to UWorld, the rational is that they want you to learn material from the questions. I’ll explain more about this later.Ĥ) On the right is organ systems, so you can just choose to get pharm questions from the heart, or just get path questions from hematology, etc.ĥ) Finally, you choose the number of questions, and you’re off.Ħ) As far as scores on these exams go, don’t expect to be crushing them because they’re designed to be harder than Step 1. As you’ll have 2200 questions to slug through, doing repeat questions is a luxury.ģ) There’s the Main Divisions on the right that allows you to choose the topics, such as pathology or pharmacology or genetics. If you have trouble finishing standardized tests on time, I would definitely recommend taking the questions on a timed setting so you get used to the time constraints.Ģ) After you choose that, you probably want to do unused questions so you won’t do any repeat questions. You can also adjust the timed or not timed settings. Tutor means that after every questions you get the answer. Enjoy.ġ) You can do exams either on “Tutor” mode or not.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about UWorld so I thought I’d address some of them here.
