atlast i managed to do another nbme. got 550. it was a traumatic experience n once again i feel i just cant do it.i dont knwo y is it so. two months ago i took nbme two n got 560. n now after two months of studying i got 550 in nbme 1.......does it mean i dint read anything? n my weak areas also cganged. first time they were hematology n psych. n now they r cns n development. kind of borderline performance. feel confused n disappointed.


  #103

doc_08
550 is a very good score
the following is what one senior on the forum advised me , 'we tend to forget the ones we used to know when we pay it less attention. so if you paid more attention to those you had lower performance earlier , you lose scores in the ones you had better performance esp if u didnt revise them close to taking another NBME. so your overall score will not change much.

did u glance everything once, or atleast the ones u read long back before u took NBME today?
u still have a lot of time until ur exam to increase ur score
just my 2 cents
i have not taken my exam yet and i am no expert but i thought this might help you
goodluck

  #104

thansk doc08 fr replying.

infact i dint revise everything. just did my routine stuff.coz i had no time. i have my cs on 25 so was reading for that. may be that was a mistake but i was just so much under pressure that i wanted to do it so that i can relax that taking two exams soo close is not a catastrophe........so i will just keep revising. thanks a lot n best of luck to u.
