Exam in a week!
I took nbmes and u world self assessments fairly close together which is why I think I didn’t improve a lot between them, but today I finally got the jump I was looking for. Also something I struggle with is that if I know something I know it, and I don’t then no amount of extra time I have will help (I do finish blocks disgustingly early).
Now I read the questions better and I repeatedly go over the content that keeps coming up in all the past exams I’ve taken. I think I got better at guessing too. My worry is that I’ve learned specific content that keeps coming up and given myself a false sense of security. Is the content/ concepts on the real deal more or less the same as NBMES? 😭
NBME 27 11/14: 69 NBME 28 11/25: 65 NBME 30 12/2: 66 NBME 31: 12/8: 77 NBME 32: 12/8: 73
UWSA 1 11/14: 60% UWSA 3 11/22: 61% UWSA 2: 12/5: 63% Finished 90% of u world bank, scored of 65%
Old free 120: 70 (taken almost two months before expected exam date) New free 120: 67 - taken two days ago
Will take NBME 33 later this week
I am sorry if I sound extra but I am absolutely terrified of this exam. I’ve been out of med school for 2 years (US IMG) and every year since I started med school I have wanted to take it but keep pushing it back because I kept getting overwhelmed.
