How We Evaluate Our Student's NBME's
By using a well standardized test like the NBME to evaluate a student's readiness to take the actual
USMLE exam, the PASS Program has been able to gain very valuable information. We have been able to
look for clear trends and associations between students' scores and their ability to perform well on the
exam. Therefore, we have decided to create a more formal evaluation system that will assist a student
in gauging how much more time (and perhaps cost, if necessary) and effort he/she may have to expend
to finalize preparation for this the hardest exam of his/her medical career.
There are three main patterns that appear from evaluation of the NBME test. The first pattern speaks to
the knowledge base of a student. This pattern allows us to inform a student that additional time must be
spent reinforcing his/her knowledge base by fully reviewing all of the notes from the program in its
entirety. After
that,
then
we
create
a study
plan
for
the
student
which
then
concentrates
on
any
particular topics which may still be weak after further testing.
The second pattern that can emerge from evaluation of NBME scores is a more complex pattern that
speaks to the student's ability to integrate knowledge, apply medical knowledge clinically, and process
large amounts of medical information. Unfortunately, in order to assist a student in correcting these
problems, a tutor has to do one‐on‐one sessions with a student. These problems with integrating
knowledge are not easily corrected by information that one would read out of a book. They have to be
taught by someone who has these abilities and knows how to teach these abilities to someone else.
And the final pattern that emerges from the evaluation of NBME scores is a pattern that speaks to the
student's ability to apply excellent test taking skills consistently. It shows whether a student can apply
the many
rules
of
test
taking
that
maximize
one's
test
performance
and,
of
course,
one's
final
test
score.
By evaluating the NBME scores of thousands of former students that have attended the PASS Program,
we have created three main levels of performance and we have tried to create a plan for that
achievement level. These plans will help a student plan for success. By following these plans, the student
should experience steady progress on his/her scores until he/she achieves the desired NBME score prior
to taking the actual USMLE.
If your score is less than 150 on the first NBME test:
We recommend that you upgrade into the eight week program so that you may receive more one‐on‐
one sessions. These sessions allow you to have more of your questions answered by your tutor on a
more frequent and regular basis. This program also offers you more tutorial sessions in the last two
weeks of the eight week program. This will help you review the program curriculum, review your clues
through attendance of drill sessions held in the evenings, and also help you review and strengthen your
test taking skills
8/17/2019 Orientation Packet Session 4 2016
12/16
2
If your NBME score is below 150 on the second attempt:
1.
We recommend
that
you
take
another
four
to
six
weeks
to
thoroughly
review
your
notes
at
least
twice.
2. During the first round of review, you should begin your day with one full set of questions,
untimed and unused.
3. After your set of questions, score them and review each of them so that you learn from your
mistakes.
4. Then you should spend the next 8 to 10 hours studying your notes.
5. Drill your clues at the end of the day for one hour or you can attend the evening drill for one
hour.
6. After you review your notes thoroughly once, then you should increase your questions to two
sets each day. You score and review each question to learn from your mistakes.
7. You then review your notes for the next 6 to 8 hours, by choosing to review your lowest subject
performance of that day. This approach will keep your score steadily moving upward.
8.
Drill your clues for one hour at the end of each day or attend an evening drill for one hour
9. Take an NBME test every 10 to 14days and discuss with a tutor or Dr. Francis
Or
You extend
your
participation
in
the
PASS
Program
by
signing
up for
an
additional
4 to
6 week
session
1. This way, you get to review all of the topics again live
2. You get more tutorial sessions
3. Each day after class, you should complete one set of questions
4. Each day after class, you should drill clues for one hour or attend one of the evening drills
5. An assigned tutor will guide you about which NBME tests to take
6. You get to choose which tutor has been the most helpful to you as your primary tutor
If your score falls between 150 and 300 on the second NBME:
1. We recommend that you take the next 2 to 4 weeks and thoroughly review your notes from the
program, then take another NBME
2. Begin each day by doing one set of fifty random questions, then score and review them
3. If your score rises by at least 50 points, then you are on the right track
8/17/2019 Orientation Packet Session 4 2016
13/16
3
4. Each day, begin by doing two sets of questions
5.
Score and
review
each
set
of
questions
so
that
you
learn
from
your
mistakes
6.
DO NOT take notes from question explanations
7. After reviewing your questions, then you should study your notes, focusing each day on the
lowest subject performance
8. Every two weeks, you will be instructed to take another NBME test to follow your progress
Or
1. You can extend your participation in the PASS Program by 4 weeks
2.
We
will
evaluate
your
score
and
recommend
to
you
which
classes
you
should
attend
a
second
time
3.
During the weeks that you are NOT attending class, you would get tutorial sessions 5 times a
week
4. During the weeks that you are attending classes, you will receive 2 tutorial sessions per week
5. This combination addresses knowledge issues and test taking issues at the same time
6.
During these 4 weeks, you should completely review ALL of your notes from the program
7. After you completely review your notes, you will be instructed to take an NBME test to track
your progress
If your NBME score falls above 300 on the second NBME:
1.
We recommend that you begin by completely reviewing ALL of your notes from the program to
refresh and reinforce your knowledge. This will take 2 to 4 weeks
2. You should begin each day by completing one set of random questions, then score and review
each one of them so that you may learn from your mistakes
3. After your questions, then spend the next 8 to 10 hours reviewing your notes
4. At the end of each evening, spend one hour drilling your PP clues
5. After you have completely reviewed ALL of your notes, then take another NBME to chart your
progress
6. If your score rises by at least 50 points, then increase your daily sets of questions to two sets,
one set of random questions followed by a second set focused on two areas of weakness
7. Start each day with the two sets of questions, followed by scoring and reviewing each question
in order to learn from your mistakes
8/17/2019 Orientation Packet Session 4 2016
14/16
4
8. After you complete your two sets of questions, then spend the next 6 to 8 hours studying your
notes by focusing on your lowest subject performance for that day
9. Take another NBME every two weeks to chart your progress until you get two NBME scores
above 400
10. If your score is no longer rising, then call the program and discuss with Dr. Francis
Or
1. You can opt to extend your participation at the program for 2 to 4 weeks and let us help you fine
tune your knowledge and your test taking skills
2. You will choose a primary tutor who will see you for most of your tutorial sessions
3.
We recommend
that
you
begin
each
day
by
completing
a set
of
random
questions,
then
correct
and review each question
4. Then spend 8 to 10 hours reviewing your notes from the PASS Program
5. Attend your assigned tutorial sessions
6. Spend one hour each evening drilling your PP clues
7. Or you could attend one evening drill session
8. You will be instructed to take an NBME approximately every two weeks to assess your improved
knowledge and test taking skills
9. You are ready to take your exam when you can score above 400 on two consecutive NBME tests
If your score is above 400 on the second NBME test:
1. You should be able to complete preparing on your own
2. Take the next 2 weeks and completely review ALL of your notes from the program
