Please don't get discouraged. I got a 390 on form 1 and 7 weeks later 490. So, a month and a half is enough to raise that score. All the best and just keep at it. I skipped spending Christmas with family and went to Barnes and Noble everyday. You may feel like you might not improve but if you just keep at it, keep studying everyday, it will reflect on form 2. And, in my opinion, form 2 has better questions than 1. Form 1, for some reason, I found difficult. Again, just keep at it. That's all you have to do.

A month and a half is plenty of time! Just stick to it. Use the NBME science categories to identify weak areas. Focus your studying on those weak areas. You'll be fine.

Aprepdoc, when I got my 390, I didn't really look at what I got low in the assessment because I realized that if I got that score, I must need to pull everything up. But before anything, after you take the NBME, you kind of know what concepts you need to work on. For example, I concentrated on the receptors first because I remembered that there were a lot of questions on it. Then I looked at purine and pyrimidine synthesis. I had to clear some concepts in my head by going back to that certain part in Kaplan. If Kaplan doesn't let you understand it fully then go to another book just for that part. After that, I went on and read Pharma, Patho (Goljan), Micro front to back in Kaplan. For the rest, I made good notes in my first aid so I just relied on that and I really took time to think of what concepts I didn't understand in each subject. For example, for Biochem, I didn't read the book again just first aid but then I knew that my fatty acid sythesis and cholesterol stuff like VLDL was poor so I concentrated on understanding these topics. Just keep reading and working at it everyday. About the questions, I guess just make sure you don't compromise your theory for it. I am still working at improving so I really don't know if what I am saying is a sure way to go but for my part it is working for me. I took NBME 2 last week and now I am going through all the subjects again. Goodluck! I guess my advice is to just read everyday and not get discouraged or panic, but instead use that score to motivate you to do better.

hi
the best stretegy for improving score is that ,firstly focus to urs weak areas in nbme,if u didnt correct the questions due to lack of good concepts then try to clear the concepts from urs same material or do relent practice questions or lear the concepts from other review or text books.if u did nt correct the questions due to lack of revision then revise that topics again.secondly give more focus to HY topics(focus to FA) and thirdly quickly go through urs review material once more and then with FA take nbme form 2 or 3 and u will see improvement in urs score.GL
