General Question about the practice exams and case

[Kathryn d’Ablemont]

Hi!

I hope this message finds you well! I know that the purpose of the practice cases and exams is to help us find gaps in our knowledge and where to review; but do you have a recommended minimum % that we should be scoring on these to help us better understand our preparedness? The perfectionist in me would love to get 100% in everything but that’s impossible.

Thanks! Sorry if this is a silly question.

Hi Kathryn!

Average scores for the NCS Advantage exams are 60-70% on the first attempt. With repeated attempts of the same exam, average scores tend to increase to the 75-85% range.

Over 98% of our participants report passing their ABPTS exam, so, if you are scoring somewhere near the range of our average scores, you are likely on track for your exam. No need for 100%!! 🙂

I have taken the Medbridge course and am almost through with the NCS Advantage. Which tests are most like the NCS? Exam #1 that I have taken with NCS Advantage was not as case based, and I thought the NCS exam would be more case based. I just want to make sure I am thoroughly preparing and mentally prepped for the NCS exam next month. 🙂

The NCS Advantage case-based exam is designed to give you practice with cases similar to what you’ll see on the NCS exam. You’ll find a combination of stand-alone and case-based questions on the NCS exam. Our exam software makes it difficult to randomize questions and keep blocks of questions together. We felt it was beneficial to randomize questions to improve the retake-ability of the exams but also wanted plenty of case-based practice.
