Today, did 8 blocks of Qbank before reviewing IM. Feel tired after 4-5 blocks and sometimes I scanned the Qs content only. I think that why ppls said the last blocks were the most difficult.
Qbank Qs are 60% lengthy and distracting, so I need to find out a stragegy to overcome this issue.

huyniid,
Good job on the 8 blocks of q bank! I cannot study anything afterwards if I did 8 blocks of Qs in a row
I need to hurry up... Feel a little bit stressed out last a few days...

12 days left
Yesterday I had to change my work time, from night to day time to adapt with the exam, so I had to sleep early
Finished Qbank.
Begin to read 2nd time of UW, topic-oriented and read explanation in USMLE CD.
Have 5 days left for IM review. I have read GI, rheumatology and nephrology. There are 9 sections left
it is hard to complete the plan everyday.

huyniid,
It is wise to make 8-5 the most efficient time. I am thinking the same thing because I like to study at night.
If you are in the US, be aware of the daylight saving time starting tomorrow.
You are getting there,do the best you can and good luck!

ALS@ Yeah it is quite difficult to change the efficient time. Yesterday I wondered why I cannot study efficiently, and looked at Robin's productivity , so jealous!
I am done with reading Cardio, and 100 Qs of Uw. Still have 60 left.
I also extended UW once, but not that long as yours. 4 months
Today, Pulmonary and Qs

huyniid,
Don't worry, you still have time to adjust the time, 11 days should be long enough to adjust the 11 hours jet lag
I assume Robin is younger, there is the reason why he can be so productive without feeling exhausted. I can study one day like that and then the next day take it easy.
You have a great NBME score and you are working hard, You will do great!

I am considering of NBME3 on the day before the Exam. I want to improve my score
Which score is appropriate for the Test? It is a hard question

Hi huyniid, don't lose faith on yourself! You have a great NBME1 score a few weeks back and I am sure you have improved a lot since then.
I haven't done the test yet and cannot give you much advice on how to arrange the last 3 days(e.g. doing UW questions etc.). But make sure you take it easy the day before your test and have a good night sleep!

ALS@ Thanks for your encouragement. You are right, the important thing is how to deal with 9 hrs, not only the score. I am still not adapt with the jet lag
In my case, I think that NBME is useful for me to find out the weak points which I cannot recognize when I am doing the UW or Qbank.
Today, start the Qs of IM, and try to fill the gaps. I think we old IMG can do it, ALS
