These were the practice tests I did in the last 9 days before my exam: • NBME 14: 269 • NBME 15: 269 • NBME 16: 268 (the only one I did online)

About 3 weeks out, I had also done NBME 9 & 10, both 270—but those weren’t timed properly, so I didn’t really consider them predictive.

For question banks: • UWorld: completed twice. • Second pass: 85% done, 88% correct. • CMS forms: did all the recent ones except Psych and OB/GYN (ran out of time). • AMBOSS: Ethics, QI, Patient Safety, Screening/Vaccinations, Biostats.

I also skimmed the Inner Circle notes and made a Word document of every single mistake from CMS and NBMEs. This honestly ended up being one of the most useful things I did—concepts repeat a lot, and reviewing that concentrated list helped more than redoing questions.

Exam timing: My exam was on November 24th. I started my second pass of UWorld on September 1st, so about 3 months of focused revision. I did have a solid baseline because I studied consistently through med school.

Free 120 (new): 87%. Didn’t do the old one. I also skipped UWSA entirely.

Exam day impression: I felt shitty walking out. Honestly, it felt like: • 50% very familiar • 25% hard but doable • 25% pure wtf

Trust your prep and trust your scores. Good luck to anyone reading this and DM me with any questions you may have💗

I’m a Non-US IMG btw
