The COMSAE series as a whole comprises three phases corresponding to each level of COMLEX-USA cognitive testing. COMSAE Phase 1 (which includes Form 107) is intended to help students evaluate their knowledge base in the fundamental clinical sciences and osteopathic principles before taking COMLEX-USA Level 1. As the NBOME describes, the COMSAE is “designed for the purpose of self-assessment and practice with demonstrating application of knowledge and related osteopathic competencies, including knowledge fluency and testing in a timed environment”.

The NBOME explicitly states that "caution should be exercised in using COMSAE results in predicting specific results on subsequent COMLEX-USA examinations". Instead, COMSAE results should be considered alongside other markers of academic performance, including your performance in your medical school curriculum and on COMAT examinations.
