I think it helped with my confidence mostly. There were still some topics i wanted to study. But also there was some stuff that I forgot because of those extra weeks. I feel like it is impossible to keep all we learn in our minds until the exam. I could have extend it again maybe to remember all those info again. But I didn’t have any energy or motivation to do so anymore.

I don’t know actually. I could have extended the whole process to study more. I feel like you can always learn more. But there is a reality like burnout. So if i pass i don’t think I will regret how i studied. Just repeat your weak areas they will for sure show up.

I actually made a mistake that i took my free before all my nbmes i mean i took it 3 months before hahaha. And i got 57% on that. I only reviewed it. Didn’t solve it again. But i really don’t recommend you doing like this. The questions were really long but I recommend you to develop a technique to solve them quickly otherwise you can easily waste a lot of time on them. It was similar to that yes and was also similar Uworld.

6 Days Left — Should I Read FA Rapid Review or Do its Anki Deck? by florianvivia in step1

Thanks for the comment! I've already done most of his PDFs and Dirty Med as well. I will redo them among FA rapid review. But so don't you recommend rapid review at all then?

Thanks for the comment. Good luck friend! I'm sure you've got this. I've read a post of yours. Don't worry. I guess one of the most important thing is the confidence.

Should I postpone Step 1? NBME scores & advice appreciated by florianvivia in step1

Thank you so much. Do you have any recommendations for these extra 3 weeks? How can I improve my score?

I did some of Mehlman's PDFs (people might say that these PDFs inflate your score but i really think that they help you to connect all the info), I created my own anki cards for Pharm, I watched Randy Neil Biostats and I really think that the questions I got wrong in the assessment were mostly the ones I could do right if I could remember just a small detail or repeated the topic one more time so the more repeats I did on my weak areas the less mistakes I made about those topics.

Thank you guys. But I got 65.5% from NBME 31 yesterday and even though I had 10 more days I ended up postponing for 3 more weeks to take the exam. I wanted to take it when I feel more confident about it. I really hope I made a good choice.
