Mainly just curious about this but what percentage do you need to get for a 400 or 500 (passing and average scores)? I've heard numbers ranging from 50 to 70% for 400.
The thing is a lot of people will use it in different ways so the percentile's accuracy can be thrown off for some people.No way to tell, honestly. I averaged around 80% on combank and scored 700ish on COMLEX.
I think the COMBANK percentile ranking is fairly accurate...at least in my experience.

Do you think nbmes or uworld % are reflective of comlex score?
I think those resources are good predictors (I think I averaged around mid 70s on UWorld--but that may be wrong). I think COMBANK is probably a better predictor. I actually really liked COMBANK. it did a good job at throwing a lot of the random bull **** into their questions just like COMLEX (calculating APGAR scores, bioterrorism, etc.). I found that my COMBANK percentile was pretty much spot on for level 1 and level 2.
Absolutely not, the exam has experimental questions on there.Going through boards bootcamp it equates a 60% to 400 and a 70% to 500.
This. My prof writes questions for NBOME and he said a 50% correct should at least give you a pass.It's somewhere in the realm of 45-50% for 400 and I want to say low to mid 60s for 500. It varies though.
I agree with what most others said in the thread.
