How many people have got 99 percentile in USMLE 1 as well as USMLE 2?

I think many international medical grads work hard to get a double 99,because they dont want their score to be a limting factor( there are already so many of them).I know atleast 15 guys in my medical school who have got a double '99'.

The MCAT wasn't hard, it was just really long and arduous. I took it twice and scored in the 85th percentile both times (score expires fast!).\n\nThe NY Bar Exam sounds far more painful. Any test that takes several days and involves case files and multiple handwritten essays has gotta be tougher than the MCAT.\n\nBut I think the collected USMLE exams, Steps 1 through 3 PLUS CLINICAL have got to be the worst. If it wasn't hard enough to pass, it also costs thousands of dollars just to take!!!

You asked a lot of questions, so I'll try to answer them all:\n\nFirst, the MCAT is just a test required for entry into medical school... if you are already in medical school and are coming to the US for residency, you don't have to worry about it.\n\nThe USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam) is required for medical licensure.  It is broken up into 3 steps.  Generally, US medical students take Step 1 (basic science knowledge) after their 2nd year of medical school, Step 2 (clinical knowledge & mostly diagnosis-focused) after their 3rd year of medical school, and Step 3 (clinical knowledge & mostly managment-focused) after their first year of residency.  Step 2 is broken into 2 sections- Clinical Knowledge (multiple choice on computer) and Clinical Skills (12 standardized patients in an office setting).\n\nIf you are going to be graduating from medical school in India, and then applying for residency here in the US, you will take both Step1 & Step2 before applying (you don't have to schedule them with any time between, although it would probably be helpful to keep a month between for studying).  You don't have to worry about Step 3 until you start residency.\n\nLike stated by the other answerer, go to usmle.org to apply.  All of the tests are very expensive, around $500 each, but the exact prices will be on that website.  The tests are conducted at Prometric Testing facilities, and there are so many of these that you won't have to travel far to get to one from any US location.  The Step 2 Clinical Skills, however, is only located in 5 cities in the US so you have to schedule this one a few months ahead of time to be assured you get the location & date you want.  Basically, for all of them, you apply at usmle.org and they mail you a scheduling permit after 2-4wks that you then use to schedule your test online.\n\nNow, about preparing- there are many Review books for preparation.  The most popular ones are "First Aid for the USMLE" and the "Step Up" series.  Kaplan is a very popular test preparation company and they offer an online question bank that most people subscribe to for a month or two for practice questions.  Find more information about that at www.kaplan.com .  Also, many foreign medical graduates take the 8 week Kaplan Review courses for the USMLE since they generally have to get a much higher score than US grads to get the same residency spots.  The courses are very expensive ($3,000-$5,000), but look on their website for all of that information.  You can usually get boot-leg copies of the videos of the lectures they give from e-bay for less than $100.\n\nBasically, there is a lot of information you are asking about and I think you would benefit from looking around different medical message boards such as www.prep4usmle.com or studentdoctor.net\n\nGood Luck!

100 is average.  Two thirds of the population scores within 15 points of average -- so you probably score better than about 60-65% of the population and lower than 35-40%.

Its one of those 99.9999 kinda things. If the doctor does is correctly, yes, its 100%. But human error does occur. its also reversable with a very difficult procedure.

I don't remember.  It's been too long.  The DBQ/FRQ is weighted 45/55 for Section II.  Section I is 80 questions.  I would think that the Section I/II weighting is around 33/66 or 50/50.  You can approximate it from there.  If you order the old released exams, they have the exact numbers.

Please see the list in the sources section, but there are several countries that share the #1 spot at 99.9% literacy, but I'm not sure how you want the information presented, so I'll just give you the link and you can sort the data how you see fit :)

100 is average, and 125 is above average. I'd say 124 is close enough to also be above average.\n\n80 is the borderline for being mentally handicapped, and 150 and above is genius.

You are perfectly on track and looking for more - GREAT. My kind of person.\n\nTwo things:-\n\n1) Since you have a lot of time on you, (in terms of years) - not that you will really be a lot free with the pre-med program --> Start with USMLE Step 1 topics. USMLE Step 1 is an exam generally taken after the 2nd year of medschool. But starting and being prepared with that for over the years will help you get EASILY through the medschool interviews.\n\n2) Medical Research! Get published. Recently Stanford started a program where they are taking in students who have some research background in the 9th grade! All IVYs are expected to follow, soon the others will.\n\n*Medical education is getting tougher, moreso longer, by the day.
