Couldn't find a thread for Comlex, so decided to create one. The one for level 1 was really helpful, PLEASE share your experiences taking this exam and study methods. Thanks and good luck everyone!
unfortunately not for July 28-Aug 4 Arrgghh NBOME!!!THEY ARE UP!
I'm sorry, man.I went from 398 to 393.
98 point increase for me.... not sure what they changed or if we will ever know
540 is the mean now??!! That is crazy but I'll take it. I have several programs that have a 500 cutoff so the increase in mean works in my favor. Now I just hope they can hurry up and process the next batch.Looks like the mean jumped to 540. And it looks like the standard deviation changed from 61 to 100.
Within the next week, as in this week? Or next week as in the week of the 8th?I just called. July 28th - Aug 4th cycle should be within the next week, no definite date though.
They were very vague. She said hopefully within the next few days or next week. So I guess we'll just have to be continually checking the website and worry for the next 1-2 wks.Within the next week, as in this week? Or next week as in the week of the 8th?
I dont think you understand how SD works. It's not a number made up by the NBOME.So, is anyone else feeling like WTF? Was this an impulse, knee-jerk response to the big outcry? I bet the avg has been rising (as it always does, including STEP1/2), so it makes sense for the mean to climb from previous years. But what I don't understand is why there was an SD change from 81->62->100 over the span of one month. What is going on? There will be fewer complaints now I guess.
EDIT: Sorry. Should have just waited for the email. It basically looks like we are mimicking the NBME with a set pass score and naturally changing/increasing mean. It just took a lot of unnecessary confusion to get here.
Yeah, my bad. Should have thought that through.I dont think you understand how SD works. It's not a number made up by the NBOME.

Can you elaborate, ie who and by how much? I would have agreed w flyboyPeople went up with an original score below 440--way below
This is true. I don't know the specific numbers to which they improved, but I can definitely say at least some folks with 400 to 440 scores went up.People went up with an original score below 440--way below
