Hello everyone! I hope your early studies are going well! I encourage all of you to ask questions on this forum and to share your thoughts, questions, and tips with your fellow candidates. We’re all in this together and since everyone is studying the material together, this would be a good way to filter out repetitive questions and to better refine what (3) questions you would like answered during our next meeting. Best of luck!

According to NCARB, a passing score ranges from "between 57% and 68%.
