PAVE/QSE Questions

[PassingPaveTaker]

Hi everyone!

I have a few quick questions about the QSE test through the PAVE program that I can't seem to figure out.

I understand that the QSE test is graded based on a scaled score between 200 and 800 and that 425 is a passing score. Does anyone know, roughly, how many points that translates to out of all the questions on the test? Is it fair to say that if you score higher than 60% correct you will receive a passing score?

As a foreign doctor in the process of applying and getting licensed in my state, I am realizing that there are not too many resources for us.

Any fellow test takers for the QSE and NAVLE tests?

Hello. You are right, it's about 225 questions and you need 125 to pass. This info is from a friend who already took the test.

Thank you. So that would make the passing score roughly 55% of the total questions asked right?

Hi Fran. Nobody responded to the group, I am not part of it anymore since every time I would ask a question I had no replies. Are you currently studying for the QSE? Have you taken it before?

Hello all,

My name is Jez, it was my first attempt to take the PAVE QSE last January 2021. Unfortunately, I failed. Planning to retake it on May 2021.
I used Zuku prep but didn't get to finish all the practice tests. Are there any other references you would recommend to supplement it? Or a study plan that worked for you?

Hi, I passed the QSE this time. But, I have failed my first time. In my opinion, first of all, you should finish zuku prep. I could not find any materials for studying QSE except zuku. Once I finished every question in ZUKU, I was able to answer half questions of QSE with full of confidence. The quarter was 50/50 and the rest of it was just on my luck. I would also say that you should check the questions which were given last time if you remembered. For instance, I did not know that how many deciduous teeth each animal have when I took the first QSE, because zuku does have only permanent teeth questions. However, I learned and took the second QSE. They asked us about deciduous teeth questions. I guess they have similar questions every QSE, so that you are better to study ZUKU plus the questions which you did not answer with confidence.

I understand how you feel about failing QSE. Never give up!!

As far as I know, there are limited universities to accept PAVE such as LSU, OSU, and the University of Missouri.

Hopefully, somebody knows more options...

LSU has kinda small spots now but I guess OSU might be more open. Missouri accepts PAVE only once a year.

Hey there congrats! Do you have any other tips regarding the QSE exam??

Which one did u go to?

 

[Petdr2022]

Hey, I gave my BCSE exam back in 2020 and I was made aware that the BCSE and QSE are quite similar.

The questions are weighted. Meaning you can get less answers correct than someone else but still pass and vice versa.

On average u need 70-75% questions correct to pass considering you fall in the standard mean and considering that all exams are made with equal weightage (although individual questions are given varied weightage)

Cheers and good luck 💯
