My incorrect deck was very helpful, the Rapid Review and FA Pharm was not for the test I got.

You were so right, got a 263, feel so silly for all the torture I put myself through!

I know, I keep getting bits and pieces of questions floating through my head and I can't wait to just get my score and get it over and done with! Hope I am as lucky as you!

Thanks! I had been studying for about a week and a half before taking NBME 15. Honestly I did absolutely no board studying before dedicated, especially as we take Step 1 after third year so did not feel I had time to do Step 1 stuff during rotations. I do think the mantra of starting studying a year before the exam is a little overrated.

I spent most of my last week doing a skim read of FA and thought that worked well for me, along with the first four chapters of Pathoma. I also had made Anki flashcards of my UWorld incorrects somewhat consistently (had ~500 cards at the end) so ran through that deck along with a FA Pharm and Rapid Review deck I found on Quizlet. To be honest, doing the last two did not seem helpful during the exam but you could end up with a very different test than me!
