Comsae Form 107
Verdict: Use Form 107 as a screening tool. If you score above 450, sit for COMLEX with confidence. If you score below 450, delay your exam by 2-4 weeks.
| Score Range | What It Means | | :--- | :--- | | <400 | High risk of failing Level 1. Postpone your exam. Focus on weak systems (micro, OMM, cardio). | | 400–450 | Borderline. You need 2–3 more weeks of dedicated. Prioritize OMM and biostatistics for quick points. | | 450–500 | Likely to pass Level 1, but not comfortably. Tighten up test-taking strategies. | | 500+ | You are in good shape. Keep reviewing weak areas but trust your prep. | | 550+ | Stop taking COMSAEs. Take the real exam within 10 days. |
Unlike older forms where 10-15 questions were simple fact recall (e.g., "What nerve innervates the diaphragm?"), Form 107 leans heavily into second-order and third-order thinking. Fact recall is assumed; the test asks you to apply that fact to a patient with five other problems. comsae form 107
Most students who score between 450–500 on COMSAE Form 107 pass COMLEX Level 1. If you score below 400, this is a significant red flag. If you score above 550, you are likely in excellent shape.
The value of Form 107 is not the score—it’s the post-exam review. Students who simply look at the answer and move on gain nothing. You must understand why the correct answer is correct and why the other four are wrong. Verdict: Use Form 107 as a screening tool
Based on student surveys and NBOME blueprints, here is how Form 107 compares to the real deal.
| Category | COMSAE Form 107 | Real COMLEX Level 1 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | OMM | High focus on sacral diagnoses, Chapman’s points, and viscerosomatics (levels of facilitation). | Broad coverage, but more emphasis on muscle energy, HVLA, and counterstrain. | | Microbiology | Heavy on Gram-positive cocci (Staph/Strep) and antibiotics mechanisms. | More parasitology and fungal questions than expected. | | Biostatistics | Straightforward (NNT, ARR, sensitivity/specificity). | Slightly more convoluted study design questions. | | Ethics | Obvious answers (do not lie, get consent). | Subtle nuances regarding state laws and mandatory reporting. | | Image Quality | Dark, sometimes difficult to interpret X-rays/CTs. | Slightly improved, but still not great. | | Stem Length | Short-medium (most are 3-6 sentences). | Can be longer with more "distractor" labs. | | Score Range | What It Means |
Key Insight: Students often report that COMSAE 107’s OMM section is harder and more abstract than the actual COMLEX. Conversely, the pharmacology on the real COMLEX is often considered more straightforward than Form 107.
ComSAE Form 107 is a standardized compliance and safety assessment form used to document the results of a systems audit and risk evaluation (assumption: a checklist-style audit form for communications, safety, or systems audits). It captures findings, risk ratings, recommended actions, responsible parties, and timelines.
Form 107 is notorious for lengthy patient histories with distracting lab values. Where Form 105 might give you classic presentation of appendicitis, Form 107 will add comorbidities, medications that affect the exam, and subtle physical findings. The answer choices are often very close (e.g., “CT abdomen” vs. “serial abdominal exams” vs. “diagnostic laparoscopy”).
