Weight of MCQ vs weight of the CSS..

[HazomboL]

Hi everybody..

Hope everyone is doing well with studying. I am wondering about the score weight of MCQ vs CSS on step 3.. has anybody come across a reliable source that tells us how much weight each is given?

Thanks!

I don't know the answer to that, but I can say that the CCS shows up in the results as a row of XXXX's showing how well you did in relation to other categories.

I thought it was 75/25 but have no idea where I got that number.

I believe it is 75/25. I would not take the CCS lightly. I did well on the CCS portion --- no Xs, just an asterisk --- and I think it made a significant difference in my score.

Thanks for the responses, guys..
@UCLAstudent: do you wanna share your scores and correlate them with your USMLE world scores?

I would, but too many people on this board know who I am in real life, and it kind of turned out to be a bad thing when I posted my score back in the Step 1 days.
