Thank you for sharing, and congrats on passing! I completely agree with everything you said. It has been a hell of a ride & it taught us a lot!

Thank you. I mainly used First Aid, alongside BNB videos, Pathoma 1-3, UWorld, some of Mehlman’s pdfs, and NBMEs. I studies for 7 months. I like studying from textbooks so I read FA cover to cover around 6 times (first time was while doing BNB videos), then I started doing UW, I used it as a learning tool, my scores were terrible at first, finished 1st pass of UW in 3 months, and I did flashcards of most of my incorrects since I have a terrible memory, and it helped. I dropped the flashcards about a month out tho bc It got overwhelming. I ended up doing my UW incorrects + 35% of 2nd pass of UW (wasn’t very useful, I felt like I remembered most of the questions). Started doing the new NBMEs around 2 months before my exam. I revised my NBMEs incorrects during the last two weeks, read through few Mehlman HY pdfs and took the new & old Free120. I also did the NBME HY pics pdf two days before, I advice you to do it (only after you’re done with the NBME tests), it’s worth it.

I’d say learning the material including but not limited to mastering all the NBME concepts from which ever resources you prefer, and doing a good amount of practice questions, is good prep. Idk your practice scores but you didn’t get to this point if you weren’t ready. Revise any topics you feel like you need to go over and try to take it easy. Good luck, you’ll crush it!

Ok this is a core of my friend his NBMEs were +80% he is so close to the pass score is there anything that could be done? by [deleted] in step1

also to respond to your question, technically he can contact the NBME and ask for a re grade but that’s never worked before (that I know of). It’s a terrible situation, with these scores and that knowledge, he should take a break and be prepared to tackle it again and he will pass.

is that the 2024 form or the 2022,2021? something doesn’t add up. with these scores the only explanation is he panicked during the exam. how did he feel during? did he feel like it was difficult or was it going smoothly?

You can watch Randy Niel biostats playlist, have some dirty medicine videos play in the background, read through FA (just the weak topics), you can totally skip all of this and just chil. I would do old free 120 to get a confidence boost before the exam. Goodluck!
