Need Score for ERAS Examining Step2 score by whether or not the respondent needed it for their ERAS application showed clear differences in average score. Using ANOVA followed by Tukey test to assess for difference between the means of each level, it was found that confidence level 1 was significantly lower on average than levels 3-5 (p=0.0038, 0.001, 0.00014, respectively) and confidence level 2 was significantly lower on average than level 5 (p=0.0096). Based upon box and whisker plot, there did appear to be a difference between the median scores of each confidence level. Goal score had a slightly better correlation with an R 2 of 0.5726.Ĭonfidence Confidence leaving the exam was fairly normally distributed with over 200 people selecting option 3 and about 20 people selecting either option 1 (“Beyond a shadow of a doubt failed”) or option 5 (“That was great, why was I so worried?”). If the months are broken down in to smaller groups, still no correlation arises (see “Step2 & Step1” tab). When assessing the months between step exams as they relate to Step2 scores, there is no correlation with R 2 of 0.0067. can be found on the spreadsheet under the tab “Step2 & Step1.” The line of best fit when correlating Step1 and Step2 scores is a polynomial with an R 2 of 0.51. Other basic descriptive stats for months between exams, confidence, self-rank, etc. For Step1 scores, the average was 238 with an SD of 17.7, error of 0.77, and median of 241. Step2, Step1, and Time between Among the Step2 responses that could be used for most analyses (N=536), the average was 254 with an SD of 13.5, error of 0.58, and median of 256.

The exact number excluded varied from test to test based on what data were available. A small number of these had to be excluded at various times for data analysis based upon wrong Step2 score reported, no Step1 score, no date, etc.

Basic Overview Sample size There were a total of 543 true responses (there was one gag response by a classmate at the beginning and he made it clear which it was this was excluded from the beginning).
