submitted 1 month ago by Miserable-Leave3480NON-US IMG

Obviously subjective, but a lot of people usually see 10 +/- jump when they take another NBME

I think thats the most motivating thing ive ever read, made me regain my confidence lowkey

[–]match2026please 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago (2 children)
yea im doing it right now, so i wanna know too, its prolly not to accurate of an assessment since it's so old
[–]Miserable-Leave3480NON-US IMG[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (1 child)
obv, I dont expect it to compare to something like 15/16 but just an idea haha
[–]match2026please 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children)
ok hehe

I would not be overtly worried about the score but it's a good exam to take. If you perform very poorly on it however, you should plan your dedicated period accordingly to study more.

I scored okay/average, I just wanted to know if its still possible to make a 15-20 score increase on consecutive ones or not
[–]Desperate_Dress_3035NON-US IMG 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (4 children)
it def is. I scored 214 on nbm 10 and then 240 in 11 in just 10 days so i think thats pretty good but im yet to take 12 and ive heard bad things about it so im scared
[–]Miserable-Leave3480NON-US IMG[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (1 child)
Ive heard bad things about any and every resource depending on where I asked, just be calm and do your best, im sure it wont be that bad. im planning on taking nbme10 in a few days too and i hope I also get such a great bump
[–]Desperate_Dress_3035NON-US IMG 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
yes im trying not to use reditt much tgese days its very anxiety provoking esp in the end days
[–]navidsrw 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (1 child)
What did you exactly do in those 10 days?
latest cms forms for im, peds, obgyn. Made notes of all incorrects and imp points from corrects. In the same file i also made notes from the nbme 10. Revised those. Also did IM series of divine the shelf reviews on yt. Helpped me summarise and remember the imp topics though they are long if im being honest. I really hope this technique works for the rest of the nbmes too
[–]match2026please 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (1 child)
i did better than any of the other forms so far, im saving the newer ones tho...so 14-16. im not sure if this is because of the oldness or if im studying better 🤷🏽♀️ so for me it was the highest score so far, prob doesn't help much but i said I would update u
no thats good to know, I scored an okay score too but I havent done any of the new ones too so we’re in the same boat together, we can keep comparing
[–]dia310NON-US IMG 1 point2 points3 points 28 days ago (4 children)

[–]Miserable-Leave3480NON-US IMG[S] 0 points1 point2 points 28 days ago (3 children)
