How the NBME score conversion Step 2 CK model works across Forms 9 to 15
CCSSA is the NBME's Comprehensive Clinical Science Self-Assessment series, and the NBME score conversion Step 2 CK model reads all seven forms together.
Pick a form, enter wrong answers or percent correct, and the NBME score conversion Step 2 CK page applies that form's ceiling and per-question penalty.
Back comes a score, an interval, a realistic exam-day range and a pass probability from the NBME score conversion Step 2 CK model.
The 218 passing standard is the line every NBME score conversion Step 2 CK estimate is scored against, on all seven forms.
In wrong answers the NBME score conversion Step 2 CK line sits at 74 of 200 on Form 9 and at 75 elsewhere.
Call it 62.5 to 63 percent correct. Unlike Step 1, an NBME score conversion Step 2 CK estimate forecasts a number that exists.
Forms 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 use a step table, so the NBME score conversion Step 2 CK percentage jumps near 218.
Forms 9 and 11 use a logistic curve, where the NBME score conversion Step 2 CK probability moves gradually instead.
