Hi Lucky i dont post that often cause i dont have much to post. Its like a routine now, mostly revising the stuff i already posted a lot about. I am into intern med actually am doing ID, I am trying my best to speed up and finish up by 2nd Feb and give NBME then, If i could then i might think about giving my exam earlier. Its still not clear ,lets see. Hey guys i am getting sick of this exam too, so i am going asap. Wish me luck. 
All the best for your visa sobia. I will apply after the exam and give interview after the step 2 result cause 3 of my friends were just rejected sayingthat bring your step2 result and we will give you the visa. So i just dont wanted to get distracted. although i already had step2 cs permit.

/you are going just fine lucky, dont despair and keep up the good work. I have booked 22 Feb, so it is definite but i am having second thoughts of giving it earlier on 15th Feb, may be i will( which means i will not be completing step3 qbank which i just did 4 units of 13) , it depends on my NBME on 1/2 Feb. Lets see. best wishes for everyone and me

Thank you so much an, its so nice of you to drop by and say kind words. I am sure your prep will be going on fine too, and you would do great in step2 just like your amazing score in step1. I will personally prefer step3 qbook. If you are looking just for extra knowledge then A&L has some edge but if you want to improve your question solving skill with some really frustating difficult and long questions qbook is the right choice. Have a blast. and keep in touch, I just might be on for 22 myself. All the best.

Hi people I am back and with good news. I have given my NBME self assessment form 1 and i scored 800 (correlation >268). I am delighted . It didnt went all that well, many questions made me pull my hairs with frustration. I still dont know how i got so much score cause i am sure i was not right in 10-15 questions in every block. I guess thats usuall then. I feel quite confident now to appear in the exam on 15th Feb, . Please guys wish me luck as you have always , i need it now more than ever as i am going for the real thing.
All the best to all of you who are going to give their NBME soon. Just be confident and awnser to your best and you will do great with gods grace.

Hi guys , seems like you people are doing fine. thank you msyamp, waiting for your score , i am sure it will be great.
I am feeling awful, i have 12 days to revise everything and i know i have to go really fast and dont waste time not a little bit. I dont know if i am able to do this. I am definitely not doing anything new so that means i will not be doing step3 qbook (i did just 3 tests) and step3 qbank( did 4 units only) and NMS ( 2 tests i left). If i could just revise everything i have already studied................

guys i am feeling very low. i think the highest i'll get on this exam will be an 80.
uw is killing me. the same cycle of two blocks of 60+ and then the next two of 70+. i had decided not to post this embarrasing score but i couldnt keep it in. i get those q's right which only 10 to 20% have got right and the really good ones which the majority have done right........... i get them wrong. i was so exhausted today barely finished respiration.
how r u king. all the best for the exam.

Keep trying lucky and you will improve this (although this still is not bad, i mean you must be averaging in high 60's right)
Last week for me and i am quite behind my schedule. I am hoping i could finish paeds sooner so that i wont have to spend my last day studying, i definitley dont wanna do that.
