will i depends on many factotrs
r u prepared ?? i mean did u gather all review books & material& MCQ u want 2 use??
when i started my prep i wasted some time deciding what is the best sources 2 use so b sure that u decided what 2 use ( and more importantly what not use)
by the way what review books r u studying??
then make a study plan ( i might not b the best person 2 recommend that but we all know how important it is) so u know ur task for the next couple of weeks
stick 2 ur plan ( make sure from beggining that its realistic & doable)
though 12 hrs seems exhausted 2 me ( may b u used do that in medschool ha?)but u will take breaks right?
do as much mcq as possible
honestly no one can predict ur score even the diagnostic test will tell u that u score could be in range of ...-..... but no 1 can tell what ur score is gonna b
however, b4 taking the test check that u r on the safe side by taking assessment test & getting a pass score!!
u know what being strong mentally as u describe ur self=> u mean u r smart enough?? might not that much of contribution becuz as i assume being in nonUS medschool means u had studied in different style isnt it??
so but ur medschool stuff aside & think as f u r 1 of the ppl who put the questions 4 USMLE??
it mainly test integration & understanding & most importantly application of knowledge
but i suppose what u learned at medschool was may be simple recall or regurgitation
so think of USMLE way ok??
r u considering competitive specialty??what r u aiming 4??
f yes u absolutelt need a score in 90,, f not u also have 2 have above average score becuz we r IMG

thank you all 4 trying to help!
let's make it as simple as can be: I'm trying to find out wether a 6 weeks period of dedicated studying for 11-12 H/day - by the average foreign med student- can get him to the exam ready enough for a grade in the 90's.
I know that it depends on a lot of things - so assume near-optimal conditions...
thank you!
