I did my NBME form 1 today and I was very suprised to see my score went up to 630(I think I was lucky this time). But after the first block I had to take a long break due to my anxiety.. I am thinking to take 0.4mg alprazolam before my real test,seriously 
This afternoon I drove 4 hours to stay with my sister for the last week before my exam .I need more support to survive the most difficult time..
Robin, how are your reading on FA and your own notes?

U dint mean alprazolam during the exam ALS ,I dont think the effects are that 'good' during day time..try betablockers instead,that can keep u calm

Aashi,believe it or not, I did take one alprazolam after my first block today.I was feeling much less anxious and I was able to concentrate. Now i understand why some fast-acting BDZs are used for panic attack
I will try Beta blocker if I need to give a talk in public
But this is just me, who gets nervous easily before any kind of exam since elementary school. I would not recommend other people to do the same thing..

Thanks Robin. I feel a little bit more confident on myself now. I guess I will not be this nervous before my real test.
My weakest parts are development, preventive medicine, and GI and respiratory system. I will re-visit UW today for these areas.

ALS@ congrats for your NBME score. After you get that, you will not need Alprazolam again. That is true in my case, although I couldnot sleep enough before the test.
Good luck!
