Anybody taken any of the NBME forms recently?...Just wondering what you guys think of the questions...well balanced across subjects? Did you guys feel that in these last few weeks/days you'd be better off reviewing the subjects from Kaplan again versus doing more questions versus doing just the FA? What are you guys doing about the pictures? Any bright ideas/ suggestions on how to raise our score in these dwindling days of our prep? Also, I have heard that the questions from the NBME forms sometimes get repeated verbatim in the real exam so if anybody would like to discuss any of the concepts tested on their forms, I'd welcome that here. Would be very helpful if we are clear on those concepts as we go in to take the exam... I'll go ahead and change the title if you guys wanna discuss those questions here... Good luck to all n' GOD bless...

I had two qs from nbme repeated actually on my exam and a few from usmle cd .I obviously didnot know the answers as I had not discussed them.I have nbme form 1 qs but not yet taken form 2 this time.I am really freaking out too My son is not feeling well and I have not touched my books for a week now.He is not going to the day care next week too so I actually lose 2 weeks from last month and a half from test. I am taking form 2 tomorrow although I am not prepared that well bcz Ihave been taking care of my son .i am keeping my fingers crossed.God will help. I am willing to discuss nbme qs as I believe it is really essential.But I want to take form 2 first.I am also doing q bank side by side .My online q bank has expired and I did only 45% of it.Now I am doing it from the books.There are 43 blocks .I have done only 15 so far.I am also lagging behind in q bank I really think I musr revise q bank once more before exam as I tend to forget the explanations.But qs are helping me a lot.I have 2 weeks schedules in which I finish first aid for a few subjects like pharma,physio,anatomy.and rest I do from kaplan notes.and also try to do 50 qs a day.after 2 weeks I take an nbme form or any test that shows where I stand.I have planned to do 3 readings this way before the exam on march 10th. But there is such a strong sense of being not enough for the exam...a sense of emptiness I really wish to pass this time and also with a decent score with all the responsibilties.I just pray to God to just give me enough strength to keep me hanging in there.
