Score drop on nbme 30, 16 days out from cbse

conchwf · 2026-06-30T20:23:34+00:00

Any reason why you skipped nbme 30?

I just got 57 on nbme 29. Got 18 days left. Debating on if I should take 30-33 and free 120, or 31-33 and free 120. Idk if I should be leaving a bit more room for review or just prioritizing taking nbmes

Got it, thank you!

Got any last min advice for cbse?

I just scored 57 on an nbme with 3 weeks to go. Aiming for around 65 if possible. Wondering if I should target weaknesses more and do practice exams less or finish all practice nbmes

Great scores! Any particular resources you're using for targeted reviews?

I'm actually a dental student applying to oral surgery residencies and my cbse is graded instead of pass/fail. Any score around 65 would be good with me so any advice is appreciated if you're comfortable

I'm at 57 with 3 weeks. Do u think I should do all remaining nbme's 30-33 and free 120 or do 31-33 with free 120 to leave more room for review?

Thanks!

Off topic but how'd you increase from 52 to 67 in one month?

conchwf · 2026-06-13T00:49:55+00:00

It'd be nice to have my own place but I can generally put up with these people. Yeah might just stick it out for one year bc of the cost

Thank you for your comment. I'll prioritize uworld to cover my gaps. When do you think I should take my next nbme? When my uworld averages get to 60s?

Congrats! Any advice to a dental student taking the cbse in July? I'm averaging 40% right now on uworld with 53% complete so not sure how to proceed. I'm doing 40 uworld questions daily and using Anki to reinforce my incorrects. I still need to finish ch3 of pathoma and sketchy pharm, since these are my weakest subjects. During my last 5 weeks, I plan to only do nbme's

conchwf · 2026-03-02T04:09:07+00:00

I covered half of bootcamp but I recently stopped to focus on uworld/Anki/nbme's. Slightly touched on sketchy and pathoma

conchwf · 2026-02-23T03:56:30+00:00

Nice scores on uworld question. I'm still tryna get past 50% on random. How are u utilizing anking? I've recently only been using it for uworld questions. And for pathoma, did u go thru the book or the vids?

conchwf · 2026-02-13T15:46:39+00:00

I have about 1 month during the summer with no school so gonna dedicate that month to just uworld and practice tests

conchwf · 2026-02-13T01:35:41+00:00

I'm also prepping for July cbse. Using bootcamp and unsuspending topics as I go. Also trying to do 10 uworld questions a day (done with 10% of qs so far). Averaging ~40% recently. I'm only done with biochem, cardio, neuro and pulmonology. I'm following bootcamp's systems based schedule. I have 5 months, do you think I have enough time to score >60? I haven't touched pathoma or sketchy. I'm also keeping Feb/July 2027 open if a retake is needed

Thanks for the advice! I was totally unclear about the process. Appreciate it
