Page 1 of 3: FAQ: Share your Step 1 Scores here..

AshB · Credits: 41463 My Scrapbook My Reading List 6 Books

Guys I’m starting an exam score thread for Step1. Since continuous self assessment is the best way to improve, this thread would help us compare our performances with others who’ve taken the exam. I’ve collected some of these scores from net of the people who've taken step1 during last year. i'm posting them here to give you guys an initial idea of how people are doing on various resources. I request all of you to add your data as they’re available to you. If someone doesn’t want to post using his/her id, they can PM me and I’ll post it for them..

A few points to consider here are:
- These scores I’ve selected randomly and don’t represent the actual distribution. Don’t get flustered seeing more 99s here. Just that 99 guys are more likely to share their scores.
- While posting your scores try to be organized and clear like your exam date, score report date and anything additional you want us to note.
