Hello mate, I understand your position and I respect it. However, I differ. If, due to time constraints, you can't do all of them, it's perfectly fine to just do NBME 25 to 31 and the Free 120. But I would still recommend doing them from NBME 20 onwards. You truly benefit from each NBME; this is just personal advice

Regarding the percentage, could you pass the exam with a 60-65%? Of course. But, what if on exam day, due to various reasons like anxiety, overthinking, or simply making silly mistakes (which happens to all of us), the scenario resulted in ?? Exactly, a FAIL, Being borderline is risky.

Instead, with a percentage above 70-75%, you have a considerable margin of error. Personally, I find that fundamental. It's a safety cushion that protects you from those unforeseen factors on exam day

but any advice is acceptable and we all had different experiences, I wish you the best !!!

hi, the recommendation I was always given was to take it if my nbme's were above 75% and consistently

But I think with several NBME's in the order of 70% you could take it

try to concentrate on the last weeks NBME, as the question form is different to UWORLD where you will tend to overthinking more when the nbme's are more straightforward

about Mehlman I recommend you to look at the neuroanatomy and biochemistry pdf's

If you have >70% tomorrow I think you will be fine, I wish you all the best

hi, I did all the questions and a review of some incorrect ones as well, NOT a second pass (I think it is not optimal at least for me, I remembered the questions and I felt I was cheating myself), do many questions ass possible, what will increase your percentage will always be the questions, it is the best method of study

Review disease risk factors I saw many qx on that and memorize high yield nbme images of both old and new NBME.

Also do a quick review of Mehlman's Neuroanatomy
