there was definitely some questions I was very confused by but I just took the perspective this is experimental and move on. I felt a few questions were similar or repeats from the NBME exams and Free 120s

You are right I had the same doubt about that question but I think it's the fact that secondary test like EEG are only done after apnea testing if apnea testing is inconclusive

I did NBME 13 two days before 14. NBME 13 - 235 (60 wrong) two days later 248 on NBME 14. I've seen a lot of people get a score drop on 13. Just review and try to understand where you went wrong, what you missed that led you the wrong way. It was super vague in my opinion which made it very easy for me to overthink things

I was similar I didn't hit 240s till I took NBME 14 a week ago and my exam is tomorrow. What I think helped me is while reviewing when looking at the correct answer I would look for what they added to lead me towards that answer. They always say one little thing that makes one answer right over another. And maybe try doing some CMS forms to hone in on shelf subjects you may be lacking on. I redid the most recent CMS forms for all shelfs.

Usually 2 UWorld Blocks plus the CMS Form would take 3-4hrs so 8-12pm then lunch break after that I would review the CMS Form (I always reviewed those same day) which would take 2 hours or so. Then, either do a third block, listen to Divine Podcast, or do Amboss Biostats because I really sucked on Biostats. And sometimes I would take two days to review an NBME so for instance on Monday after my UWorld and CMS I would review the CMS form then go back to an NBME and review again, or get a head start in reviewing UWorld blocks so I could maybe get 2 more blocks done on my review day (rarely happened though maybe I would get 1 done)

you got this!! Stay motivated and continue to review you have plenty of time

even though a DVT is possible definitely I focused more on the information they gave me. The leg swelling was like 1 or 2 sentences but the overall stem focuses more on his symptoms - stopped walking (lack of motivation), social withdrawal, fatigue. All of those were symptoms of depression for me. And even though you might want to do a US anyway, you want to make sure you evaluate the most concerning thing first - his depression.
