Step 3 Score Prediction: How It Actually Works
Step 2 CK as Baseline: Your Step 2 CK score is the strongest predictor of Step 3 success. Most candidates scoring above 245 demonstrate extremely high pass probability on Step 3.
UWorld Performance: First-pass percentages and subject-level strengths (especially biostatistics) are weighted into our prediction model.
CCS Simulation Impact: CCS contributes up to 30% of your score. Strong CCS performance significantly boosts your final predicted range.

Is Step 3 easier than Step 2 CK?
Yes, for most candidates. Step 3 focuses more on clinical decision-making rather than pure recall.
What is a good Step 3 score?
Most residency programs only require a pass. Scores above 220 are generally considered safe.
When should I take Step 3?
Ideally during PGY-1 or early PGY-2, especially if applying for H1B visa programs.
