Saria23, Mash said it all about your health being more important than anything else, but I'll say it all and then some: this test is a battle of wills as well as minds. My back and my knee bothered me something wicked the other day. I am absolutely convinced it is the pressure of this test. It is VERY real. Just do it, dear. Hang in there, and just do it. Take the NBME test, and take it very seriously indeed. You can pretty much elieve the results--they correlate pretty well, if not perfectly, with people's final scores from what's been posted here and on SDN. IF your score is good enough on the NBME, just go in with confidence and beat the crap out of this miserable test. :evil: :evil: :evil: Yes, this is torture. Just take it if your ready without prolonging your agony. I am sure your pain is very real. And appears on MRIs. And so on. But nothing gives miraculous healing as well and as fast as the score we want on the USMLE. Take that to the bank, Saria23. It's pure gold. Love, Namf

Hi saria!!! take your time, it's very important to feel in one's best condition to take the test, I was about to take it 5 months ago, then I got terrible sick, for about two months I didn't take a book eventhough I was almost ready, but once I felt recovered, retook my way, did a reviewing and took the test, fortunately I passed 217/88, not thes best score but I am happy. So my advice to you is that if your body is really asking for something take care of it, you will get better soon and i am sure you will succeed. we will be praying for you
