Form 108 is notorious for specific "weed-out" questions. Watch out for these traps:
Trap #1: The "Next Best Step" vs. "Most Likely Diagnosis"
Trap #2: OMM Timing Questions
Trap #3: Biostats Misreading
Trap #4: Pharmacology Side Effects
Students often ask: Which COMSAE should I take? Here is the hierarchy as of 2024–2025.
| Form | Difficulty | Predictive Value | Best Used For | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Form 106 | Easier | Low (Over-predicts) | Early baseline (8 weeks out) | | Form 107 | Moderate | Moderate | Mid-dedicated (4 weeks out) | | Form 108 | Harder | High (Most Accurate) | Final predictor (1-2 weeks before COMLEX) | | Form 109 | Hardest | Moderate (Under-predicts) | Stamina/Stress test | | Form 110 | Variable | New (Limited data) | Extra practice if needed | comsae form 108
Verdict: Most academic advisors and high-scoring students report that COMSAE Form 108 correlated within 10-15 points of their actual COMLEX Level 1 score. Form 106 often gives a false sense of security (scoring 550 on 106 but 480 on COMLEX). Form 108 does not inflate.
