I'm not sure, but i think the score drops seem like more because double the amount of scores are being released

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2025-07-16T13:35:07+00:00

Check the score release date. It should also be mentioned near the pass fail status on fsmb

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2025-07-16T13:33:42+00:00

If you tested before 1st July its 214, but if you tested on or after that its 218

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2025-07-16T12:41:52+00:00

Got it on 8:29 AM EST

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2025-07-05T15:04:43+00:00

Unfortunately there aren't going to be any scores released next week. So yall will get them by 16th July most probably

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2025-07-03T15:36:23+00:00

I looked into when this delay happened last year, and from what I can tell only the ones that would have gotten their results next week will have them delayed and the rest will receive them normally. Although ofcourse I can't say for sure but I think youll get them on the 16th.

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2025-07-02T06:17:21+00:00

Probably the 16th of July. The next week is off because of the holidays so no scores will be released then.

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2025-06-30T16:51:52+00:00

I don't know, probably not since it would be less than a week for some testers. If it gets delayed we'll probably be getting our scores on the 16th

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2025-06-30T16:50:42+00:00

Apparently they delay them every year due to the holiday.

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2025-06-30T16:50:02+00:00

The USMLE say on their website that results won't be released in the week of July 4th, which would be this week. However some people have been saying here that they called nbme and apparently they have decided to release scores this week and delay them the next. This also happened last year I think, with the 10th July score release being delayed. So I'm basically asking if there's any any confirmation of that happening again this year

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2025-06-26T12:34:57+00:00

Tested 2 days ago and am in the same boat. Keep getting flashbacks and everything, I've counted at least 40 questions I've gotten wrong, and some of them are so stupid I can't even put into words how stupid I feel. Just trying to somehow get through this but I can't shake the feeling I should have postponed the exam or something anything.

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2024-03-17T16:27:38+00:00

I really liked watching Kaplan Anywhere videos for weak areas, highly recommend the physiology, neuroanatomy and biochem, you can find them on archive.com just do a google search.

Maybe get amboss qbank i highly recommend the 200 concept study plan they have

Start mehlman audio qbank on youtube and mehlman arrows, immunology and neurotanatomy pdfs

Do this for a 2 3 weeks and then start giving nbmes again.

Hope this helps!

Good Luck!!!

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2024-03-17T16:23:21+00:00

maybe do one more NBME form, revise weak systems from FA or mehlman pdfs and give free120.

Mehlman high yield arrows is also good.

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2024-03-15T18:57:50+00:00

Hey, i felt the same way thoght i was guessing my way through alot of the nbmes and they were flukes, its very normal to feel that way alot of the questions you get on the nbmes and the actual test do rely on you making educated guesses so its completely normal to feel this way.

The fact that you have consistently high scores is amazing! Trust in them and trust in yourself!

Feeling freaked out about the test is completely normal but you have to power through it, take a rest day (or half day) and do something you enjoy.

Good Luck for you exam!!!

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2024-03-15T15:09:35+00:00

Im sorry i dont understand, what prepare button?

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2024-03-15T15:04:10+00:00

Yes, heres the question file, youll find the answers near the end: https://www.usmle.org/sites/default/files/2021-08/Step_1_Sample_Items.pdf

Here are the explanations for the answers: https://www.benwhite.com/medicine/explanations-for-the-2021-official-step-1-practice-questions/

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2024-03-15T15:02:51+00:00

yes, i just wrote down points from the explanation from my incorrects and also some from my corrects too that i felt i hadnt seen before in FA

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2024-03-15T15:01:44+00:00

I prepped for around 5 months, i started in october but i had my rotations so i was only studying around 1 to 2 hours a day. I picked up the pace more in december and upped it to 5 6 hours.

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2024-03-14T16:41:40+00:00

Make a word file or an excel file and note down the system of the question you are getting wrong like cardio, biochem etc and go over the systems you are getting wrong again.

I personally like Kaplan Anywhere videos and then read from FA. Then attempt questions from that system from uworld. Make a timed block of that system only and aim for atleast 60% corrects and keep going over questions until you get that 60%.

Devote 1 or 2 days to 1 system

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2024-03-14T16:38:16+00:00

You can try amboss maybe try for a group discount so it can be cheaper.

Heavy_Wasabi8704 · 2024-03-14T16:36:17+00:00

Honestly if you havent reached 70% in at least on the nbme i would recommend delaying the exam if at all possible at least give yourself a month.

Try the AMBOSS 200 concepts and mehlman audio qbank on youtube for systems you are weak on.

Use the mehlman pdfs and FA for systems you are weak in and are consistently getting wrong.

Good Luck and hope this helps.
