Some schools, such as Ross, publish their scores each year (with an average of over 96%). While there are no widely published studies on the pass rates for 2014, top tier programs that we interviewed had a pass rate of 95%+ and mid-tier programs had a pass rate of 90%. Most importantly, the USMLE® Step 1 is known to have a significant influence on residency match and is therefore known to be a high-pressure exam as those with the highest scores on this exam are thought to have the most options in terms of residency specialties and locations. Scores on the MCAT do have a correlation with performance on the Step 1 exam, though the correlation is weak.
Taking a practice exam each and every week is a great way to know how well you’re doing, and also to understand which categories you need to focus on (Our system individually suggests categories individualized to each person.) Make sure to use this to your advantage so that you’re optimizing your study time instead of going back to categories that you already know.Īs of January 26, 2022, the USMLE® Step 1 is scored as pass/fail. Make sure to stay in touch with friends, and keep a steady schedule. Understand that no matter how well you prepare, there will be tough questions. And when you’re ready, check out our Step 2 question bank or Step 3 question bank.
