Another great site to estimate your USMLE Step1 score MedFriends. The estimator uses a algorithm of your Kaplan Qbank score, NBME, MCAT and free USMLE CD score to estimate your Step1 score.
Welcome to our USMLE Step 1 Score Estimator Tool!
In preparing for the USMLE Step 1 exam, it seemed that the most frustrating aspect was a lack of any sort of feedback about how the preparation was proceeding. A group of us were studying day and night, but realized that we really had no idea how we would do on Step 1 or if we would even pass! Compounding matters was the fact that Step 1 may only be taken once (unless you fail). In spite of all this, we fortunately ended up doing fairly well on Step 1. However, several of our close friends failed Step 1 or were very surprised at their low score. It wasn't because they were not smart, in fact many of them were in the top quarter of our medical school class (a top 20 US medical school). The single biggest reason cited for their poor performance was a lack of feedback on the effectiveness of their preparation.
With that in mind, a group of us (including some engineers) decided to get together and create this website tool to help future medical students gauge how they are doing during their Step 1 preparation. This tool provides an estimated USMLE Step 1 score based on several commonly used test preparation measures. The estimated score is based on mathematical regression models derived from data gleaned from all available resources, including academic journal publications, other websites, USMLE forums, and (most importantly) anonymous score submissions. The strongest influence on the regression models are the anonymous score submissions. Their accuracy is dependent upon the number of students that submit scores anonymously to this website and the integrity of the medical students that submit scores anonymously.
