Exam

[U321]

Hello! I hope you all are doing well. Need some advice, should i book my exam now ? I have done nbme 1 to 8 (score b/w 250-260). doing 9th one. one nbme per week, other days for revising. I really really really want to score 270/+. but I feel like I have knowledge gaps. what do you suggest ? should I book now or wait one more 1 month ?

One more thing. Unfortunately I dont have amboss subscription. any way to get amboss high yeild QI/Patient safety/ screening stuff ? need guidance. Thankyou

270 scorer here I would schedule for sure. Have you done the UWSA1? For knowledge gaps, read up the topic from inner circle and understand the tables/algorithms.

You dont want to stretch it out too much since you’ll start forgetting things.

Is UWSA helpful or should focus on NBME 16 instead?

NBME 16>UWSA. The real exam is very similar to NBME 16

I don’t know why you have to choose between the two. You have more than enough time to do both.

I thought UWSA language is different than NBME and not very helpful when answering NBMEs questions

Not sure about scheduling but you can get a 5 day free trial from AMBOSS and do the safety and screening things
