categorize the kinds of mistakes that you have made in the NBME. know whether the mistakes you made are due to just miscalculation or the " i don't have any idea" mistakes. then if you determine that it is due to the later reason then you postpone your exam. otherwise, just go ahead.

It was NBME 3? because people say is really hard.

Hi Gogeta

Do you still think that NBME 3 is harder than NBME 4 ? I also don't see any score of NBME 3 & 4 score and actual corelation in the score thread of this forum. Of course I have an idea fronm NBME itself (the table of corelation from NBME ).Do you have more explanation to my question? Thank you

In other forums people say that NBME 3 is the hardest of all, and that NBME4 is hard because is more mole. biol. and bioc related.

But in conclucion EVERYBODY CRYS AFTER NBME 3.

It was NBME form 2...... and i did try contemplating where i went wrong and i realize that there were many questions,which i knew but wasn't sure of the answers.in fact i do remember a few where i went wrong because of not being sure.i guess i can improve at that.

And one more thing,with tje minimum bar being raised to 185,what will be the corresponding required two digit score,it stays same or changes too.

And,what is the number of questions we need to do correctly now?

I thought NBME 3 was easier than NBME 4.

Original poster, try taking another NBME. Does your performance on the NBME 2 correlate with your QBank/UW score?

Best of luck, and don't be disheartened. The USMLE is a mindfark.
