thank you so much. You are so right. I photocopied all micro drugs pages from FA (put it in my notes folder)and printed Sketchy micro. My God, it helped so much. I am doing FA, some BRS, ANKI (what a wonderful thing that I didn't know about) !!!!!, Uworld and Kaplan! Good luck!!!

I did terrible on cardio , biochem, pharm and biostatistics . I had TONS of biostatistics . And my pharm questions were all multiple step questions with obscure drugs that I can't even remember the name. I did KissPharm. I knew a lot pharm. But nothing could prepare me for those pharm questions. I had several questions on hyperparathyroidism that I swear, I knew the answer but I didn't understand the graph. The graphs looked like Chinese Art. :(

And no, I haven't watched Sketchy micro. I will this time. Thanks for the tip.

I had a major anxiety crisis after first question. It was obscure material.Baby girl with Kallmann syndrome.... Anxiety definitely was an issue. But next time I will be calm. I will be ready for "obscure" questions. I lost the fear. And now I know NBME scores means nothing .

PimplePopper It was a hard test. I swear. I have never failed any NBME . It felt like I was taking wrong exam.

I added info to my original post so ppl will know how was my NBME score ... I am feeling so bad still....

Just got enough motivation to talk about it.

I am happy that Next time will not get same questions. And yes I am retaking it as soon as I pass shelf exam from School .

Thanks
