thanku lecheah & mjl1717.lecheah,followed ur advise. my schedule went on like this. took avil 25 at 8pm. slept at 11. woke up at 6:30. felt slight dizziness unlike other days (due to medication???). started nbme2 at 9am and scored 220. got 230 with nbme1 about 10 days back. so what do u suggest? my only fear is if i dont get sleep the day before due to tension i will spoil the whole exam.

Are you sure your scores correspond to the actual Usmle scores? I guess not.

Oh I'm sorry I thought they were 230 and so in the nbme and I was shocked.
No no, you've a good score and you've gotta keep yourself composed in order to do equally well on the exam.
You can practice taking any sleeping pill a week or so before the exam, so that you'd sleep before the exam. AND one thing more: DON"T think you've a problem sleeping. It'll BECOME a problem if you do so . Just relax. Your exam is going to be perfect.
Have you tried sitting for 7 hrs in a row?
