hi
i am taking the exam on 27 april......dont intend to postpone it.....

i got 480 both times on nbme tests this week .....correpsonds to 87...

is it possible to do something REALLY high yield in these few days that could take me around 90 atleast?

any suggestions from anybody about how that last concentrated effort should be ??

Hi,
ssrpk's advice is good.I will say ,if possible revise Goljan's 100pgs notes also,you already took nbme..revise all those concept qs which you did wrong.
Best of Luck for the test.

just look at imbebos post and I think he scored the same on nbme 480 and ended getting like a 93 or something.

you'll probably score over 90 in the real exam
just keep studying, don't start new material though
it's very onfusing to study new things now, so concentrate on the things you already know, and know them well
that's what I did in the last days, before the exam
and on the real exam I got a score higher then the NBME 1 & 2
NBME 1 = 630 = 235
NBME 2 = 650 = 248
actual exam = 256 (whitch in NBME points is 700)

so, concentrate on the things you already know, and you'll be fine grin

good luck
