How predictive is my self-assessment score relative to my actual Step 2 exam result?
The AMBOSS Step 2 CK Self-Assessment scores are calculated using the performance of self-assessment-takers that are within weeks of their actual USMLE Step 2 CK exam date as a calibration reference. The calibration is performed using the official USMLE Step 2 score distribution, and our questions are tested and have been scrutinized by students in prior years.
We’re confident our questions are high-quality and representative of what you will see on the actual exam. Our chosen questions also reflect the relative distribution of topics on the actual USMLE® exam.
