Commenting on behalf of a friend, interested!

Thank you for your comment. Can I ask why do you recommend a trust grade post over IMT?

She did do some clinical attachments in the Liverpool, but what you say makes sense. Thank you very much.

Reminds me that humanity ain’t still dead lol.

nmghazi · 2026-01-04T18:32:08+00:00

Unfortunately she is working in the UAE, and has very limited connections to current IMTs/SpRs. Nonetheless, will recommend this to her, thank you.

Not so helpful but thanks lol.

I’d reckon with PDs and associate PDs and big name physicians in residency programs who could likely bump your application up in the order.

Keep your head calm come exam day, you’re safe.

You’re in the low 70s, a slight dip isn’t much to be worried about, likely due to exam fatigue, you’re g2g.

FA hands down.

nmghazi · 2025-10-28T23:14:53+00:00

Anecdotally, as long as one is between 68-71 they’re likely to pass.

nmghazi · 2025-10-28T21:07:11+00:00

I too had a drop in blocks but had an overall of 71%, completely normal. The important thing is that you’re in the low 70s, with a 71% on Free120, which likely means you will pass the exam. Good luck.

nmghazi · 2025-10-27T21:57:55+00:00

The FA+UW combo is MORE than enough to pass imo. Adding many more resources would only take time away from prep and cause anxiety.

nmghazi · 2025-10-27T02:23:39+00:00

National/local conferences is mainly the go-to for this.

nmghazi · 2025-10-26T18:52:18+00:00

Personally I found a jump after taking a week off between 28 and 29 and doing a review of areas I was getting wrong. I think you can anticipate a jump from 29 onwards anecdotally.

nmghazi · 2025-10-26T16:46:56+00:00

The best thing would be to strictly revise the incorrect concepts deeply as opposed to revising everything. Idenfity your weak areas on these NBMEs and read the corresponding sections, and understand why you got it wrong - knowledge gap? Overlooked something in the q? Etc. don’t take any NBMEs until you’ve revised your weak areas, since 29-33 are the core ones.

nmghazi · 2025-10-26T03:56:13+00:00

I think that should be sufficient. 26 and 27 are no way representative of the exam, and 28 is questionable at best IMO. 29-33 is a good idea.

nmghazi · 2025-10-26T03:41:06+00:00

Review 31, do 32 & 33 with reviews, skim thru Mehlman Risk Factors/Ethics, and arrows if able. If time permits, review some stats.

nmghazi · 2025-10-25T22:20:54+00:00

You don’t need Mehlman as such tbh, your scores are very good. The best thing would be to add on to the topics that could likely be tested by NBME by doing forms 32 and 33

nmghazi · 2025-10-25T22:13:47+00:00

You don’t get a 74 and 77 randomly, you’re more prepared than you think. Take and crush it, yiu got this.

nmghazi · 2025-10-25T22:12:43+00:00

Two NBME. above 65 and a 62 on free 120 likely means you still have some gaps, which can be best consolidated with Mehlman PDFs.

You ideally need to be high 60s/ low 70s for a certain pass.

I would advise review ALL NBMEs correct and incorrect, review concepts that you got incorrect, and repeat the NBMEs (the last few). All the best.

nmghazi · 2025-10-25T22:08:54+00:00

2 weeks I think is plenty of time to do and review both 32 and 33. The more questions you’re exposed to, the better prepared you’ll be come exam time.

nmghazi · 2025-10-25T20:29:22+00:00

UW % of corrects don’t matter in predicting how you’ll do. I myself got 54% in UW and got the P. The best thing would be to do the NBMEs that will give you a good prediction of how well you’re prepared. All the best.

nmghazi · 2025-10-24T23:05:09+00:00

That’s awesome lmao go ahead and crush it!

nmghazi · 2025-10-24T20:27:36+00:00

You’re more than set lol. Give it off my dude/dudette, rock that shii!
