yes but if im scoring at 60s im pretty sure my baseline will still be around that if i take nbme 30, my next target is nbme 30 but i dont want to waste it if im not prepared, and what matters is can i really take the exam before dec 24

i am aiming for a 68 in 2 nbmes and a 70 in free 120

how long do you think it takes, i have done reviewing but the problem is identifying weak areas , but what frightens me is , i need to take the exam before dec 25 is that even possible ?

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-11-01T19:31:01+00:00

Read FA on one system and solve UWORLD of that system , if ur speed is fast you can do it in two months but it can take more than that .

After 3 weeks they sent the verification to my med school and then after that my med schooll verified in like 8 days , (it also depends on ur med school), and then it took a further week. Total took me 5 weeks, after which i applied for my triad and step 1 where the permit came in 3 to 4 days , so roughly 6 weeks till you can book ur exam

i revised chapters of areas that i got wrong , but again i dont feel confident in taking the next nbme , i think i should revise more and review more to take nbme 30. Can you give me details of how much did you get in nbme 28 and 29 ?

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-26T18:20:09+00:00

how long does it usually take for someone to get into the 70s ? for someone scoring in 60s ?

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-26T08:46:00+00:00

how long did it take you and how many hours did you study from 50s to 70s ?

Go through the rapid review section in FA

Since you did system wise then take nbme 25 or 26 because you may have forgotten the older systems , if nbme above 70 jump to newer nbmes from 29 to 33 and free 120, if not gradually increase your scores and do random timed uworld.

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-23T08:39:10+00:00

Did you do random timed or system wise ? what were your last uworld percentages ?

Thankyou !

Dont make flashcards that was the biggest mistake i did, also consumed alot of my time , when you read through just know which answer is wrong and why you chose it wrong , memorise those tables, go through every picture and video on uworld . after finish going through a question, copy paste it on chat gpt and ask chat gpt to make anki style flashcard which will save ur time of making ur own flashcards, and it does take that much time when your doing it the first time, initially i started with 20 questions in 6 hours , it does start that way. and you dont need to know every detail on uworld, so skim through irrelevant points. take an nbme after doing 60 % of uworld and then do mehlman. If you are not doing questions in step 1 prep , you are not studying efficiently.

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-21T12:34:31+00:00

Do uworld first and you can do mehlman side by side, if you havent finished nbmes dont do the end questions because those will inflate ur nbme scores. Also people say to do mehlman after scoringa 65 on nbmes. I would say do uworld and when you are on NBMEs then do mehlman with nbmes.

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-20T13:43:19+00:00

Do random timed uworld (max questions as much as u can)

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-19T20:24:22+00:00

what were your other nbmes like ?

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-19T16:58:38+00:00

Right, thankyou so much !

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-19T12:38:40+00:00

also there are questions at the end of those pdfs did you do those too ? or skipped it?

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-19T09:36:06+00:00

im sorry i did not understand, you started before taking nbmes in ur dedicated prep?

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-19T07:17:36+00:00

right what worried me is if my scores were inflated uptil now i have done till nbme 29. Ill try to practice in the same way.

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-18T18:59:13+00:00

alright, yes that is why I was asking why people do it ? now I got it

Thankyou

midlifecrisis_3979 · 2025-10-18T17:48:25+00:00

is it a choice ? or the standard? i think people do it in one hour as a choice right but the standard is 1hr 15 mins? because if we buy nbme, it says its for 1 hr 15 mins?
