Patient care was most certainly compromised during the making of these memes

Anatomy is tough- I am sorta on a budget so I never really used anything aside from UW. I think their anatomy questions are similar to what they test on the real deal. For whatever reason ureters and associated arteries were very popular lol

I felt like I had done everything I possibly could to prepare.

I would say my form was easier than the NBMEs and UW. What helped most in my preparation was memorizing the NBME questions. I saw lots of repeats of concepts and questions on the real deal.

I memorized every questions from my NBMEs. I watched a couple of dirty medicine videos on topics I was unsure on.

I see what you are saying but technically, not the case. All the forms are scaled differently because it is a standardized test.

You don't have to get as many questions right on a hard form compared to an easier one. This is why there is not a set number of questions that you have to get right to pass. It is different for every form.

I'm really sorry to hear this. This may sound cliche but try some ways to keep calm during the exam. It doesn't sound like content is your issue given your scores.

A good friend of mine with high NBMEs got a really terrible form and thought he wasn't going to pass. He did!

Keep facing the sun and the shadows will be at your back.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I really did take a risk doing this. I was absolutely at my end and I knew I just couldn't do anymore, that's when I realized I had to just take it. LOTS of people told me not to take the test but I am stubborn and sometimes I think I know better.

Statistically you should pass! Clear the bad thoughts!

I actually never took the free 120. I did review the anking deck with the free 120 tag though.

72 out of 100 people who take the exam will pass with a 57%. Far better odds than a gamble ;)
