through the NBOME can guarantee “predictability of passing”. With that in mind, Kaplan has done some data analysis on six participating institutions, 399 students, using their full-length, simulated, secured exam (hence, the reason you cannot view the individual
questions). Please find the attached information Kaplan has provided on interpreting scores on their Level 1 simulated exam.

(so, you cannot always do direct % or numerical score side-by-side comparisons). However, reviewing what they tell you about how to interpret their scores is helpful—and certainly the breakdown performance on clinical presentations and disciplines is super
helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
