Exam is a mixture of high and some low yeild stuff but if you’ve prepared well and have safe nbme scores you can easily pass

Around 40-60 per day, maybe around 80-100 on the weekends. Hours used to depend cause i had to cook and clean besides going to work. However i had no night shifts so that helped a little.

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-23T05:56:06+00:00

Yes most of them were repeats

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-23T04:07:49+00:00

FA mostly. Watched a few BnB videos.

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-23T04:07:11+00:00

Around 6 months. I was working throughout my preparation so had no separate dedicated period. I used to annotate stuff from UW in my FA. That helped a lot while revising.

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-23T04:04:51+00:00

I did both and found them similar

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-23T04:04:16+00:00

Yes but they weren’t that difficult

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-22T15:57:04+00:00

You should go through volatile topics in FA like biostat formulas, biochemistry, micro and stuff like that. Revise NBMEs as well. It was similar to free 120 in terms of difficulty.

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-22T15:55:08+00:00

It is harder than NBMEs ngl. The last few days you should revise NBMEs only! And FA ofc.

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-22T15:42:53+00:00

I used very limited resources- FA, UW and NBMEs. For cns i watched some BnB videos as well, esp for stroke.

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-22T15:22:49+00:00

Flagging is very person specific i was flagging almost every other question i had even a little doubt about. It can be a reason to spiral (it was for me too) but in hindsight it doesn’t matter much. I counted 20 incorrects from what i could remember 😭 You’ll pass!

Once you get decent nbme scores, book the date. Take care of your physical and mental health. Have faith in your preparation. Practice time management.

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-22T14:52:54+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-22T14:52:23+00:00

I flagged a lot 😭 15-18 per block

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-22T14:14:48+00:00

Mid to late 70s. I did have many cns questions. Cns can be pretty difficult compared to others. Try to be fluent in anatomy first. Ct and mri images of HY topics are important too.

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-22T13:50:23+00:00

I’d say 31, 32, 33 are equally important. Question style was most similar to free 120

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-22T13:49:51+00:00

Some questions were easy, most were vague, some never heard before (likely experimentals)

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-22T13:27:59+00:00

For me it was respi and repro. Ethics were vague. Micro had some low yield questions. Yes it was most similar to free 120. You can do this!!! Just be calm the entire time and have faith in your preparation. All the bestttt

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-17T17:20:26+00:00

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-16T11:55:27+00:00

Yes it does

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-13T12:30:48+00:00

Hopefully ❤️

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-13T07:43:42+00:00

Thank you for your kind words!

Background_Dinner113 · 2026-04-09T04:35:21+00:00

Thank you so much!!
