what's a competitive score for step 1?

Answer:
This is v broad question. The best score some one can get is 99 and least is 75.
So higher seems better. Very Happy

Some specialities are harder to get into compared to others. Usually, Pyschiatry, Family Practice and Internal Medicine are considered easier to get into. Radiology is considered toughest.

IM is lesser competitive score. Usually scores above 90 would get into most decent community hospitals.
