If you’re preparing for Step 1/2/3, you probably know the pain: score prediction is basically guesswork.

We grind through UWorld, Amboss, NBME, UWSA… but there’s still no single, solid, free tool that actually integrates all this data and gives a realistic prediction. Everything out there is either oversimplified, outdated, or just not transparent.

So I with my friends decided to try building one.

We’ve been digging into stats/models over the past few days and started working on a score prediction tool as a small research project. But like any model — it’s useless without real data.

That's where we need your help!

To calibrate the algorithm, I need real inputs:

To

- Qbank performance (UWorld, Amboss, etc.)

- Self-assessments (NBME, UWSA)

- Final Step scores

We made 3 short forms and it is anonymous.

If you’ve taken any Step (doesn’t matter when), please contribute:

Step 1:

Step 2 CK:

Step 3:

P.S. We are not just looking for 260+ scorers.
Borderline scores and even failures are extremely valuable, they help define where the actual cutoff/risk zone is.

If this works, the end goal is a tool that actually gives meaningful predictions for everyone.

Feel free to share with others prepping for Steps.

Thanks!!!
