COMSAE 108 (Phase 3) Clinical Reasoning & High-Yield Breakdown
. Because the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) does not provide a question-by-question review for COMSAEs, creating your own structured report based on your Score Report and Performance Profile is the best way to identify and fix your weak spots.
is one of the more common forms used by schools to gauge your readiness for COMLEX-USA Level 1
- Predictive Value: Anecdotal evidence from student forums (e.g., Reddit’s r/comlex) suggests that scoring 450–500+ on Form 108 correlates with a high likelihood of passing Level 1. Scoring >550 indicates a strong chance of scoring above the national mean.
- OMT Emphasis: Form 108 tests viscerosomatics, Chapman’s reflexes, counterstrain, and high-yield OMM concepts more rigorously than older forms. Many students report that the real Level 1’s OMM feels exactly like Form 108’s.
- Endurance Check: The 176-question, 4-hour format (two 88-question blocks) helps students gauge mental fatigue—something shorter NBME exams do not replicate.
