How the NBME 12 Step 2 CK score calculator turns misses into a score
The NBME 12 Step 2 CK score calculator starts from 300.18 and takes off 1.09 for each of the 200 questions missed.
Percent correct is the same input in other clothes: the NBME 12 Step 2 CK score calculator reads 65% as 70 misses and returns 224.
Seventy-five wrong is the pass line, and the NBME 12 Step 2 CK score calculator puts 218 there, at 62.5% correct.
One more miss and the NBME 12 Step 2 CK score calculator returns 217. Nothing sits between those two outputs.
Because 1.09 does not divide the scale evenly, the NBME 12 Step 2 CK score calculator never reports 219, 231 or 243.
The value just above the pass line is one the NBME 12 Step 2 CK score calculator cannot produce at all.

Nothing else reaches the NBME 12 Step 2 CK score calculator. Subject, timing and flagged items are all invisible to it.
