ABIM Readiness Calculator

Estimate your current level of readiness using ITE results, first- and second-pass UWorld performance, recent question performance, bank completion, and testing conditions.

Use recent and accurate data. The UWorld second pass is optional and is adjusted to reduce the effect of question recall.

1 Exam Date
Used to calculate the number of days remaining.
2 ITE Results
Select whether your ITE results are reported as national percentiles or as percentage correct.
Select the result type first.
Select the result type first.
PGY-3 receives the greatest weight because it is closest to the board exam.
3 UWorld First Pass
Cumulative percentage correct during the first pass.
Percentage of the full question bank completed.
Preferably first-pass, mixed, and timed questions.
4 UWorld Second Pass
Have You Started a Second Pass? Turn this on only if you already have a real average from repeated questions.
This percentage is automatically adjusted to reduce the possible effect of question recall. It is not interpreted the same way as a score from completely new questions.
The calculator uses approximately 85% of the second-pass score before combining it with first-pass results.

This tool uses a heuristic formula and is not an official or validated ABIM calculator.

  • ITE performance contributes approximately 42% of the index.
  • Combined UWorld performance contributes approximately 43%.
  • First-pass bank completion contributes 10%.
  • Practice conditions contribute 5%.

Without a second pass, question performance is calculated using 35% of the overall first-pass average and 65% of the recent question average.

With a second pass, the calculation uses 25% of the overall first-pass average, 50% of the recent question average, and 25% of the adjusted second-pass score.

The second-pass score is multiplied by 0.85 before being included to reduce the possibility of overestimating performance due to recall of repeated questions.
