Hi smita,
sorry I missed your question. Anyway for Kaplan Qbank just add about 3% to the scores for UW.

Thank you askdoc…
I am assuming that you are telling the percentage for assessment using uworld.

Please tell me how much % using kaplan qbank (last 10 tests,random timed unused) for passing, above 90, and 99?

Thanks again!!

Hi smita,
Just a quick reply, will give a longer one later. Suggest you just use the last 500 Q of USMLE for evaluation and do an NBME. 20 days is pretty short for Kaplan qbank to be of benefit.. You need about 58% to pass. 68% to get 90 and 78% to get 99, give or take 3%.
