2. The Layout of the Boards
There are 4 blocks of 60 questions = 240 questions
You will get 2 minutes per question
By comparison: Step 1 = 280 questions, Step 3 = ~400 questions
There is no penalty for guessing so answer EVERY question
The “pass” score is set prior to the exam being administered so it is not “graded on a curve”
The average board pass rate is around 65% so you need to plan on answering 2/3 questions correctly

3. Resources 3rd years: MKSAP…twice
If you only get one book make it Board Basics (3/4)
You will have questions directly from the highlighting
2nd years:
MKSAP
Mayo or Hopkins Board Review books
