There's only one way to find out, go for it!!! Don't let failure stop you from what you love. See what your weaknesses are and start studying. Refer to this forum if you have any questions about resources or anything, it's great! Good Luck!

Definitly focus on the three P's: Path (form Golijan), Physiology and Pharmacolgy. Also, from what I hear molecular biology and immuno are big. Questions are the key and yes, definitely take NBME before taking the test.
