http://www.nbome.org/comsae.asp?m=can

Here’s the gist: they have the exact format of the COMLEX exam, they are supposed to predict your score with most students scoring 10-20 points better than what the COMSAE says.

Lauderdale/Miami area came to NSU (NOVA, the DO school down there) and talked for about an hour about the decision to take the USMLE or not.  It was recorded and the videos are up on youtube.  Its a seven part deal just because you can only have 10 minute videos up on youtube.  So anyways, here are the links.

This is a pdf with tons of info on the COMLEX, all steps.  Some important things I noticed were that you can only take the COMLEX 3 times in a 12 mo. period, and you can only retake the COMLEX to pass a previously failed examination. Meaning that you can’t take it again to try and improve your score if you already passed.
