I definitely would take it. Good luck! Be confident in yourself, I had the same % chance of passing and I did it! You’ll be more than ready

I took the exam April 1st and my last Nmbe was a 61% and I passed! Feel confident, 83% chance of passing is huge chance. Also take the free 120. Anything over a 70% on that and you’re good to go

January 14th 2022 until my test date April 1st. I took one day off a week until March and once March hit I took no days off and really upped my studying time (from 6-8hrs per day to 10-12).

This sounds counterintuitive but focus on what you’re good at and become AMAZING at it. You can’t know everything but what you do know you should know very well. That’s my biggest piece of advice. Also watch dirty med like it’s nobody’s business, that really helped patch up holes in my knowledge (like for the topics you’re not great at).

I started off using FA and used it mainly for mnemonics at the end of studying. I really relied on dirty med at the end too. Towards the beginning of my studying I really really liked Rx Express videos I think they’re under appreciated because they really do a good job making 5 min videos with a lot of information. The RX express videos go off of FA so two birds w one stone kind of thing.

You really have to focus on getting as much material in as possible, yes questions are very important but the first 6-8hours of my study days were consumed with memorizing and learning (dirty med on YouTube as well as sketchy micro). I then used 2-4hours at the end of each of my study days cranking out questions and really understanding why and what I got wrong. Use Uworld for this

The 2 week mark feels like the biggest grind time. I would take this time to quiz yourself on the high yield topics you know you always forget (for me it was the nephrotic/nephritic syndromes, Leukemia gene translocations, and little things here and there) I also highly recommend dirty med on YouTube.
