I wish you all the very best and hope to see you guyz celebrating soon. inshaAllah.(God Willing)

What about MRIs CT scans? did you get any! also are we allowed to take calculators with us? or is one provided? sec. I have a habit of writing points out of questions on piece of paper and then solving questions like hb , wt loss hx, etc are we allowed to use pen and paper in exam that we can return them back when we leave?

You cant take your watch inside, so a calculator was a nono.
They give you 3 pieces of paper that you can write on them like a board, also in one of them they make you write your CIN= the number ID for you to take the test.

Also everytime you take a breake they take your ID, yea I know ID hostagegrin.
Also during a break you can review something if you want, but they are watching you, and just read, dont use a pen or pencil becuase they will say irregular behavior, and in a website I read about that, so I just read the book and not use a pen or pencil.

They were a group of MRI, CT X ray that you need to identify.

1- yes you leave the room to review something.
2-no, it can be cosider irregular behavior so DONT DO IT.
3- you can review, but cant write nothing, it can be cosider irregular behavior so DONT DO IT.

If I'm optimistic they will send my grade in june 27(3 weeks)
If they do what they promisse then my grade is send by July18(7 weeks)

Why why, so long in reporting a greade why the drama?
They received my grade the same day I took the test, I think, if I dont have any irregularity and thanks God that I dont have, they can easily send my grade next week.

ohh sweety! ur so nervous, its quite understandable and i will probably do the same, but u know what, u have given it a shot and no matter how much u think abt it its over until ur result is reported, im sure ull do fine, so relax and do all the things u havent done in a while, go on a short holiday if u can and enjoy urself, cos taking step 1 is a big leap and there is loads ahead of u, so go have fun, i think u deserve it...smiling face

I finish with a 48.9%, but they dont round up the numbers, then if you add all of the new questions they included after I finish the bank my % of unused/mix/all/time would rise to 49%.

overall my% raise to a 56% after I was repeating the bank, and scoring reallly high at the end of the second time around.

oh god you are making nervous with all this I just want to pass business.

YOU WILL DO WELL GOGETA!!!!

  #61

Feyza the forumla is for unused/mix/all/time not for topic, by topic.
I think that the forumla 2xUW%+84 or 70 is more accurate

When I had 44%x2+84= 172 I took NBME4 =172
When I had 48%x2+84= 180 I took NBME3 =184

It was close, but some people score alot more than that formula, so you need to do NBME test.nod

Dear Gogeta,

When you are referring to 48% do you mean overall correct or percentile? and also please do you have any idea how to interpret results of downloaded version of NBME?

Thanks

You mean overall correct or percentile? They both are given under the same folder of Cumulative.

that 48% is from USMLE WORLD.
I did not did download versions of NBME, I paid the 45 dolllars confused

48.9% when I finish, but if you add the other unused questions after I finish then it would be 49%.
49x2+84= 182 and I add3= 185 PASSgrin
But I did the entire bank again, and learn alot from it and finich with a 56 or 57% cum. correct answers.

There were some blocks like NBME 3, others like NBME1 and the rest NBME4. So it felt like all the NBME togethers

GGT ,
You make me to read it. Know it's good at glance, but if if not for exm , what for , what is useful only if for exm related .

So can I take your word now, how to go with side by side with subj or after all subj ?

GL in score.

make sure your head hit the soft cushion wall , not cardboard hard one. You still need it foe your st 2grin & your new , old friends like us .

Do you still know who I am, who I am, who we are after hitting your head ???
Just checking to make sure your helath /head is still running well like b4.
