As I was going through the test most of these questions seemed very simple ('gift' questions) and I felt really stupid for not reviewing these chapters on UWORLD/MKSAP (these are issues I never deal with on my day to day practice) There seemed to be so many questions on these subjects. Of note, I knowingly did not review the 'small subjects' (neurology, GYN, psychiatry, PCP level orthopedics etc.) - much of the score that I had lost was on these questions. I therefore assume that 65% is the median for MKSAP users. My score on the ABIM correlated exactly with UWORLD and I was on the median of exam taker. On MKSAP scores were around 68% (they don't provide a reference to other users) On UWORLD my scores were around 58% which was on the median (this is a nice feature of UWORLD that allows you to position yourself against your peers). I was hoping my baseline knowledge after several years in clinical practice will be enough (I am not fresh out of residency as most of you). I had very limited time to study (less than a month) and had a busy clinic and research projects at the same time. I studies with both UWORLD and MSKAP apps. ABIM also provides data by programs so you can easily position yourselves and estimate your baseline chances of passing. So I am back to give some numbers to some of you - as I am sure you are all stressed.ĪBIM pass rate for first time takers are 91-93%. I have been looking for this answer while studying, with limited good data available.
