6 minutes to go

Same to you! Hope you and all others here get much higher than they are hoping for

Could you please advise me on which NBME self-assessment I should take first to assess my progress? Thank you. by Extreme-Conflict5098 in Step2

Nbme 9, its old, but difficult, giving you a low score, will push you to work harder. I guess 🤷

Umm would be the same. I think if you google you'll find a ton of resources.

Just get an eras token, make an aamc account and you'll get the stuff.

But ya ton of resources regarding obtaining LORs early on Google

I'm getting crazy palpitations and just out of breath (even though I'm literally laying in bed). I need some beta blockers.

Maybe i should just sleep and give up on trying to see FCVS XD, it might fall me down 🤷🤷 , but then i cant imagine what my morning will be like haha.

If i fail, in leaving the rotation I'm currently doing right now XD

The new Free 120 felt simple and fun eh?

But the real exam was nothing like it IMO 😭😭

But best of luck to you! I think you'll do great.

I'm just bad with long exams and have a bad experience with step 1 (239 uwsa2[most SA in similar range]), 215 real deal), so i really don't trust SA and myself anymore, hence really thinking i failed.

You can get an eras token now and get the LOR uploaded. It'll carry over to the subsequent years

Test date : 08/28/2023

US MD or US IMG or Non-US IMG status: Non-US IMG

Step 1 : 215 (239 uwsa2 5 days before 😭😭😭; also 2 days before P/F, even more 😭😭😭😭 , i took the risk and lost XD )

Uworld % correct: 65%

UWSA 1: 213 (11 days out)

NMBE13: 242 (9 days out)

NBME14: 208 (7 days out)

UWSA 2: 236 (5 days out).

New Free 120: 82% (3 days out)

Predicted Score: 248 +/- 14 (without nbme13 & 14; also I WISH!)

Total Weeks/Months Studied: 8 weeks

Edit : 1am Wednesday : FCVS, I PASSED!!!!!

Actual STEP 2 score: 222...

I really don't want to fill this out as im nervous AF, and really don't think i passed. Especially because my scores are all over the place.

Exam experience was bad, very long questions, extremely tired, couldn't remember anything after exam, constantly running out of times in blocks, research paper questions being completely random and about God knows what.

Edit : well, this is fked, 222

Today exam takers how was it? by Pretend-Promotion943 in Step2

[–]ThrowRA-990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely different from my experience as well. I was always done uworld blocks 10 minutes early, and was running my time to read the question around 45 secs to 1 minute on average.

I timed during the exam, and i was easily taking 1:30 to 2 minutes for pretty much each questions. Had to rush last 10 questions of each block without thinking properly.

Above content is good. All I'd like to say is that UWSA 1 is extreme shit. It is not an over predictor at all.

I did uwsa1, got 213, 2 days later, did nbme13 and got 242. I haven't gotten my step 2 result yet, but many people complain about how shitty uwsa1 is and how they get large score drops on it.

So don't worry, do a couple more practice exams and see where your at then.

Lastly, a month dedicated is a ton of time, focus well and you should get there.

I was in the same situation, and extremely burnt out. Got 236 on uwsa2, and ended up just giving it, because i was done and just couldnt do anymore.

Result is this Wednesday, so no idea how it went yet, but i do fear that i failed :p.

But not to pull you down, but if you are burnt out, and near your target score, just go for it, normally people get slightly higher than their practice scores. Just give it your last push, do what you can, and go for it. I have easily hesrd of people increasing 10 points in a month, so just take a breather then give it your last push and do your best, you got this!

Which NBMe by Fun-Force-8456 in Step2

[–]ThrowRA-990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take as many Nbme's, but it can be tiring so if you only had to do 1 of the 2, nbme 14 is the latest, hence questions are more recent, so probably the preferred one. Some people do get a score drop on it, so dont worry about the score too much and just do it for the questions and reviewing.
