How predictive are AMBOSS Self-Assessments?
Just like the real Step Exams, AMBOSS Self-Assessments place students on a scale relative to peers who are taking the Self-Assessment at the same time. Our questions, crafted by USMLE experts, are highly representative of what you will see on exam day.
Feel free to check out our blog post on how our recent self-assessment score is calculated and interpreted: Step 2 CK Self-Assessment: How the Score is Calculated.
What’s included in my Score Report?
Your Score Report gives a detailed overview of your performance and the areas you need to work on to reach your full potential.
3-digit score: Scores range from 0 to 300. Even though Step 1 is pass/fail, we still give 3-digit scores, to help you get a more precise overview of your exam-readiness. For Step 2 CK, you can also compare your performance to the minimum passing standard.
Likelihood of passing: the probability that you will pass the exam, if you do it within one week of completing your Self-Assessment.
High-yield topics to focus on: find out which topics you need to work on to give yourself the biggest possible points boost. Don’t miss the related high-yield articles and Qbank sessions. They are prioritized by exam relevance to help you make the most efficient use of your remaining prep time!
Your strengths and weaknesses: a breakdown of how you performed on different topics, including disciplines and systems. The topics are prioritized by exam relevance, so you easily see which areas need improvement.
How can I use the learning resources in my study recommendations?
Your recommendations will include links to learning resources designed to fill your knowledge gaps. Dive into high-yield articles, relevant Qbank sessions or Anki recommendations, and more tools you can use to solidify your knowledge.
You will get relevant Qbank sessions for whole topics, as well as specific high-yield Qbank sessions for topics you answered incorrectly in the Self-Assessment. The cool thing is that it integrates with Anki, so you can instantly find relevant cards!
For how long will I be able to access my results and study recommendations?
After taking the Self-Assessment, you’ll be able to access your Score Report at any time. Your answered questions, breakdown of strengths and weaknesses and recommended learning resources will be available for as long as you have active AMBOSS access.
