Why does the NBOME report COMLEX-USA 2-digit scores if they do not provide more information than 3-digit scores?
COMLEX-USA 3-digit scores provide all necessary performance information for COMLEX-USA examinations. Psychometrically, there is no need for 2-digit scores. However, some state legislatures require 2-digit scores. In addition, many residency programs are accustomed to 2-digit scores. It is for these reasons the NBOME reports 2-digit COMLEX-USA scores.
