NBME 15 Overview

The NBME 15 is a standardized exam used to assess the knowledge and skills of medical students. It consists of multiple-choice questions covering various medical topics.

The exam is scored on a scale from 200 to 800, with 500 being the average score. The NBME 15 is used by medical schools and residency programs to evaluate applicants.

Calculation Method

The NBME 15 score is calculated using the following formula:

Where:

• Correct Answers = Number of questions answered correctly
• Unanswered Questions = Number of questions left blank
• Incorrect Answers = Number of questions answered incorrectly

The final score is then scaled to the 200-800 range based on the performance of all test-takers.
