Oki doki. Mine was OK. Some stuff never even heard about, other were pretty easy. Some answers made no sence at all, hopefully those were the once they are testing for the future, so they would not count. Lots of medicine. Lots of OB/GYN. Some Peds. Little Surg. Even less Biostat/Epi. Some Q's almost straight out of UW. Time was never a factor. Always had at least 5 min to spare and check back on some Q's. Bellow is the break down of my practice seions: Toal study time- 6 weeks. Used Crush Step 2, NMS Med, Blue Prints Peds, Own notes from Meds school for most else.Also Kap Videos- watched most. UW-60% (range 48%(4-5 exams ealy) to 78% in later exams) did them all, all timed, unused NMBE- 550, 550 USMLE CD- 80% Kaplan simmulated- 78% (did not finnish all, problem with program) Sep 2.....????????????????????????????? will post as soon as I get it. An predictions?

sumie..relax. everything you could have learned, you already did. In my last days I went through second NMBE, then went through signs and syndroms names, trying to recall everything I know about each. Looked at Ortho, Ophto, ENT, Hemo etc. in Crush Boards...and relaxed. Watched movies, slept and ate. You will do well, relax, take a deep breath... If you studied hard, you are as ready as you are going to be, no matter how hard you will study in last days. So, do not stress out. YOU WILL DO GREAT!!!
