USMLE Step 1 Score Calculator
Here's the (in)famous score estimator. Reading around the site, I'm not sure how good it is. I'm just not sure. Using real-time regression modeling to determine the 'most appropriate' coefficients for the estimate is probably a good idea, but weighting of recency is an arbitrary weighting and it makes me wonder what the weighting factor is and why they added that. The other variables should not change much over time. And what, exactly, is 'recent'?
