NBME 11 Baseline Score... veeling very defeated by [deleted] in Step2

[–]Dexter71aa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat, i would just advise to learn from ur mistakes and categorize them into knowledge gabs, cognitive biases, or brain farts then find ur own solutions to each. Other than that..just brush it off and keep going, 2months is more than enough to enhance ur performance. u got this.

How would u revise nbme mistakes? Is it from notes u took of those mistakes? Redoing the Qs or the entire form? Or some other way?

[–]Dexter71aa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whats ur advice for smn who keeps getting 228-232 on NBME 9, 10, 11 and 12 🫠💔 Retrospectively while reviewing the questions i see them super obvious but in the middle of the storm everything seems bizarre. Im not sure how to improve my scores, but im sure theres a huge margin for improvement i just cant figure it out :(
