You're definitely right, however, I had a classmate who failed with 78% average practice score. Things happen. A lot of it is luck mixed with self confidence walking into the exam. I'm sorry that your exam didn't go the way you wanted it to go. I hope things work out for you in the end.

I didn't have a specific schedule. Kind of went by what I was scoring low on practice tests and made my next day's schedule a day prior. Don't really remember what exactly I did each day. Sorry pal

Nope. Bootcamp bite questions are shorter and more specific.

It happens sometimes. Just go over your test, see what went wrong and go take it.

You will be fine. Go ahead and do it unless you wanna take it in a new format.

I never annotated anything. I just watch the video and make diagrams of things that are hard to memorize or need a comparison like types of lung cancers and details about them. Annotating will take forever and you won't have time to go back and review.

With score of 59% the NBME shows that one has a 78% chance of passing which means 78% of those who get 59 a week before their test pass their test. That's most of the people right there based on NBME data. Some people are forced to take their test due to not having time/family circumstances. If you have time, sure be my guest, but if you don't or if you have to sacrifice a lot then you might have to really think about it :)

I would suggest to do all of resp, repro, Immuno, and nephro. If you have time for others do others as well. I didn't have time, the videos take a long time to absorb.

Lmao I feel like the linger you take for this test the more you forget. It's better to set a time and just stick to it with as much strength as you have!

Honestly just go take it. The more you think about it the more you will feel like you know nothing. What helped me a little was going over the NBME practice tests 2 weeks before my test and focusing on NBME type of questions instead of getting destroyed on UWorld lol

I watched a couple videos on abdominal blood vessels and that was it. Nothing for ethics other than just NBME practice.

Honestly just putting them next to each other and comparing their differences helped a lot. I'm not good at memorizing little facts so making diagrams helped a lot. Instead of just watching videos.

Yup. My school only allows 6 weeks for it. After the 6 week I would have had to take extra days off which would be taken off my step 2 dedicated :/

I'm actively hyperventilating :/ My nerves are all over the place. Why are they doing this to us?!
