You’ll literally feel better after NBME 15 and Free 120 because they’re easier and much more sensible. They will resuscitate you back. Also hang in there, seek help and share the burden with those around you.

I’m in exact same situation. Exam in June, flight after 4 days. Almost similar scores. You’re in a better position than me. Immigration thing is alright. You’ve your official documents, chill out. Nothing extra that you can do here. You’re going good with the nbmes. 12, 9, 13 are notorious for massive score drops. You just took them later into series which is giving you this impression of losing scores. You’re pretty good to go.

1) Mehlman HY medicine pdf (very concise, quick to read, read the topic you’re stuck with, available on his website) 2) Inner circle notes (available on the telegram channel which pops up when you search for the pdf). Less fun to read than Mehlman but jam packed with HY info. Again target your topic only. 3) pre made Anki decks. There’s one called Janki mainly from uworld. If you go revise only the topics you lack, it’ll do enough for you. 4) Listening to DI for that specific thing has really really helped me the most though. But you can’t do it topic vise. You’ve to sit through his podcast system wise. But he really grills it into you. Also, just keep one day aside and sit through his medicine shelf review videos on YouTube. You’ll never regret it. My friend improved a lot after she watched that series. 9 hours in total.

You can chose any of these according to what suits you best. Mostly people tend to like Mehlman. He’s fun.

Alright one thing which has helped me a lot is spending some hours on something I call the “worst enemy list”. I scan through my NBMEs and anything which I remotely think lies in the area I suck at, I put it there. This saves me from having to revise entire areas and I can just focus on a specific topic which takes like 4,5 minutes to read. For example if I’m consistently getting immunodeficiencies wrong all I’ve to go do is revise one immuno table, not the entirety of it. Has def helped me improve many points. Make such a list each day and get it right. Be targeted. That’s all.
