UWSA 2 → Step 2 CK FAQs

How accurate is UWSA 2 for Step 2 CK?+

A reproducible validation dataset is not currently published for this calculator, so we do not claim a verified UWSA 2 error rate. Use UWSA 2 with another recent assessment and interpret the full range.

When should I take UWSA 2?+

Use it late enough to reflect current preparation while leaving time to act on the result. Follow it with a fresh Step 2 CK CCSSA or Free 120 if your plan allows.

Why does UWSA 2 over-predict less than UWSA 1?+

We do not publish evidence for a universal fixed difference. The calculator treats UWSA 1 and UWSA 2 separately as an internal modelling choice.

Should I trust UWSA 2 more than an NBME CCSSA?+

Do not rank them from an unpublished accuracy table. Read the official CCSSA report first, then use UWSA 2 as another signal. Agreement across recent assessments is more useful than a fixed hierarchy.

What UWSA 2 score predicts a 250 Step 2 CK?+

There is no official one-to-one UWSA 2 conversion. Enter the score as one input and compare the resulting range with a recent CCSSA or Free 120 result.
