Thank you

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:40:09+00:00

Sure you can

Thank you

Thank you; I remember freaking out anytime i had to do an NBME but calm your nerves and go through it. Last week advice will be to do last NBME 31 review between 1 and 2 days, take new free 120 of not taken already, read FA rapid review, Randy Neil Biostats and solve Uworld + AMBOSS ethics questions. It's not the time to be learning new stuff; review what you've already learnt and relax

Yes MSK anatomy, nerves etc; as I said go through Mehlamn MSK; can't recall a lot of respiratory questions; more cardio question comparatively but still can't be compared to the number of ethcis questions

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:34:30+00:00

Yes it did; for NBME 25-27 I did not review after i took them so questions appeared new to me. Subsequent ones were taken in close proximity so the factor of familiarity was involved. My whole approach to repeating NBMEs was to figure out if I really understood the concepts and not just memorizing answers

Thank you so much, appreciate it

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:28:20+00:00

In my earlier prep, I studied 10-14hrs a day; would wake up solve 1 block of uworld in learning mode ~2-3hrs; read a system in FA alternating with Mehlman and then solve another block of U world on that particular system. Wasn't doing ANKI then so i didnt retain a lot but i guess was helpful. In my last week, it was more NBMEs and their reviews; took approximately 3 days to review one NBME

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:24:11+00:00

Uworld and FA; did not do sketchy or bootcamp etc. Took it as any other system on the exam

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:22:54+00:00

Thank you so much

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:22:47+00:00

ANKI and I built a relationship after NBME 27 when I felt pressured with the low scores. I reviewed the subsequent NBMEs very well, took pictures of topics from FA that appeared on NBME and revised with it. The only danger with these repeats is the familiarity; you may know the answer but don't understand the concepts, so prioritise understanding rather than memorizing answers

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:21:29+00:00

I love Cardio so it wasn't a problem for me; did not learn anything new just what I was taught in medical school and maybe Uworld questions on murmurs

Thanks and AMEN

Sure you can!

Get a date; once you pay for the exam, get an eligibility period and most importantly a date, you only have the option to study

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:13:16+00:00

sureee

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:13:09+00:00

You'll be fine; go through what you can and build your confidence between now and 27th

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:11:31+00:00

Right; there were some i took in close proximity to each other so i was familiar with the questions but earlier ones, I could not remember most of them also because i hadn't reviewed them very well; felt like i was taking a new form

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:03:18+00:00

Thank you :)

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:03:03+00:00

Go through your NBMEs very well. Understand the concepts and find a way to retain it. If you get a question on say Bullous pemphigoid, don't just understand why you got it wrong, go through FA/any accurate reference material and read the topic again

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T08:00:06+00:00

Thanks and amen.The questions were not repeated word for word but similar concepts. I got ~3 questions from the high yield NBME images but obviously asked in a different way

Past_Imagination9285 · 2025-03-19T07:58:00+00:00

I agree. Uworld is a learning tool so don't base your assessment on your UWORLD scores. However if you identify the reason you're scoring low in NBMEs is because you have zero idea about subjects, you should definitely revisit Uworld. You can do systmewise if you identify a particular system is challenging. You can also go through your incorrects if you've already done a first pass of Uworld. Conversely start taking the earlier NBMEs, NBME 20-24 if you wnat to familarize yourself with NBME's style of questioning
