my test is 8 days from now
I have just done one block in kaplan simulated , the score is horrible (70%)
many questions are new to me!
I don't think I'll pass the test with a good score
my average score in qbank was 81 , what happened to me then?
shall i do the other blocks or not?

70 is safe to pass. do atleast 4 blocks to assess score.

70 is a good score actually, i have friends with 92 and 93 who scored 70% in kaplan simulated AND if you did the first block then man it is the toughest block of the cd and then 70 is a great score cause people with overall average of 70 had scored like low 60s in first block.

It varies a lot i can report some of my classfellows: 62, 67, 69, 70 , 71 , 74, 77,
Mine was 86 overall. You seem to be in good shape. All the best. STay focused during your exam and dont loose your nerves. One bad block is nothing as you have seen in this simulated exam.

You are definitely getting a 99. All the best. Please take last day off and cool down a bit. Take a walk in the evening and a hot shower before going to bed. It will help you sleep. Watch a movie in the evening and it will relax you a lot. Dont open book in the last day , it wont matter at all. Take some paracetamol in the morning it will prevent you from getting tired and having back aches. Take caffiene in whatever form. When a block is closed, its closed so dont think about it. Dont think anything in your breaks, look around, whistle or sing; whatever takes your mind off. When you start reading a question look at the last line first, when reading long question try keeping the info in your mind . If not sure ,choose what was your first impulse, Dont change any answer unless you have clear reason to change it, not just because you start feeling the other one is better.
you may not even need all this advice but i just feel like writing.

kingsofke , thank you very much 
it really helps a lot to read what you write , thanks a lot , really appreciate your advices and I am sure they'll help. test is tomorow God willing, one day and all this wil be over.
SilatK, you may need to go back and review your weak areas , don't take a lot time in this review. for example, if your weakest area is gyna/obs you may need a rapid review for it (if you have a book smaller than kaplan, it'll be better. like crush/ FA/ secrets) . some people don't like to interrupt doing questions with reading, so it's just my opinion, that's what I did when I found my score low. and I wish you the best of luck.
