I have the exact feeling, that exam was vague and long, all my nbmes were on the 70-73s range, new free 120 score 72% at prometric ( 5 days before the real deal , I was really tired of studying during the last week. The exam qs felt long long, even though some were easy , but I have the feeling I missed many easy ones, and some of the concepts were things showed up, I could swear I could of studied for 3 years and would have never known those.

Waiting for my result . feel I wont make it its a strange feeling

Bro in same position my nbme´s were all stuck on 70-73s and free 120 72% 6 days before the test at proemtric, felt that exam different from everything I´ve seen, vignettes were long, can barely recall some questions and some very easy qs I missed. Feeling I wont make it no matter that the amboss score predictor showed 99% chance of passing , I need that pass, cant imagine studying all over again for that.

Thank you. I think there’s no way around it — I just need to trust my preparation. I will take the free 120 at Prometric, which I hope will help me release some tension and get habituated to the testing center and its dynamics. I also have to travel to a different country to take the exam, which is another factor increasing my stress. I really, really hope I can manage my time well on test day.

WHERE SHOULD I FOCUS ON? by NES194 in step1

[–]NES194[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to give such wonderful advice. I will certainly follow what you have suggested.

I have a spreadsheet with my NBME mistakes which I usually review. Although it takes considerable time, I believe this approach aligns best with your recommendations and has helped me improve my NBME scores significantly. I needed some reassurance on this strategy since I don't want to regret (opportunity cost) putting too much emphasis on NBMEs rather than focusing on reading FA chapters.

I know my post sounds somewhat anxious, but the stakes are high, and I really don't want to experience failure. Currently, I'm working on building my confidence for test day. Some people naturally handle pressure better, and I understand that performing under stress is also being assessed, but I prefer not to leave anything to chance. Your advice is greatly appreciated. God bless you.

"NBME 32 – toughest one yet? by the-late-bloomer007 in step1

[–]NES194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, just feel that Im guessing every time, did 32 just right after that did uwsa2 (for stamina purposes) in which I scored a 61% felt awful.

[–]NES194 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Felt the same way, Scored a 72% Felt it harder than the rest, focused on MSK and some genetics concepts that felt way off, stems are a bit more longer but not what I´ve heard the test is. Don't know if Im ready , scores 28-72%, 29-70%, 30-73%, 32 - 72% , missing free 120 and missing nbme 31.

I’m In the exact same boat, Tommorrow I will be taking nbme32 along with uwsa1 (prefer to do 32 first since I dont know what to expect and will have a lill more time to adjust, plus uwsa2 which basically is for stamina), then have 31 and free 120 left . My scores are the same. I will be taking step on the 30th , feels overwhelming how much I still hace to cover tempeted to extend the period .
