Just curious what the highest scores received are/were. I usually make in the 60s/low 70s and I am ok to pass. Whats the highest scores you have had or have heard of having??

I scored an 86% on one of my LS1 practice exams. Shocked the crap out of me. The highest I had got before that was 82% on LS3. I wonder if anyone ever gets a 100?

I am usually in the 60's and 70's also. I wish they gave an idea of what is considered acceptable.

Usually if I got in mid 70's I got a B, high 70's-80's usually got me an A on the actual test. I think the topic has been kicked around here (I think we compared lifespan practice scores a few months back:D)

Good luck on your exam!!

Also, take some time to review those practice exams, found that there were a few on the actual exam! Of course, you also get a feel for the type of questions and what you need to spend a bit more time studying. K

High 60s, low 70s. I seem to do better on the exams (with the exception of 1) that I didn't get the practice exams for. I tend to get the opposite of what I emphasised because I got the practice exams and focused my studying on what I got wrong... I will be trying them for these LS exams as I'm not a fan of them. I had an adviser tell me if I'm not getting 80s on the practice exams I shouldn't attempt the exam but I've found most people don't get in the 80s on the practice exams no matter how hard they study and they do great on the actual exams.

My advisor said 75, but on the exams that I made in the high 60's/low 70's, I have still passed w/ a B. I think it just depends on how lucky you get with your question mix on the test. I seem to be a peds magnet :eek:

I have always seen on the EC board by the faculty that it's preferable for us to make at least an 80 before attempting the exam..... I'd never get to test if that were the case.

I totally second that! I got 60's/70's on LS1 practice exam. Passed it today with a B! I am so confused as to how the exams are score but I'm not complaining....as long as I pass thats = closer to degree!

Wow, 80's??!! I never got more than 60's or 70's on those practice exams and I got B's and A's. I do have to say they are a huge help in preparing for the exams, take a hour or two to go over questions/answers/rationales!!
