I passed my exam want to thank this forum so much. Well what can I say I studied for four months full time used usmleworld and first aid these are very good sources. About the test day well it went smooth had a good breakfast then did two bloocks took a a break and then did one block and took a break after each block had lots of water and chocolate during my breaks. I did the nbme exam form two and got only 360 very low so did not do anymore but studied what I got the lowest scores. My test had all subjects covered well my advice is do not take the test until you have really prepared I studied all day for these four months in my opinion internal medicine obsetrics and gynecology pediatrics pschiatry then surgery are what is important in this order I got a few statistics question which I did not even try to answer just guessed and moved on. Be prepared for anything on test day and use this forum it is good thats it guys what should I do know? Any suggestions? Will be glad to answer any questions. By the way for all that have failed it took me four times to pass step one one time to pass step 2 cs and three time to pass step 2 ck so you can do it study hard and believe in youself

Hi ram3,
congratulations!
I have mine in 3 wks.I have rescheduled it twice and now,I have to take it.
I'm only reading FA and doing UW.have read IM in kaplan though and thinking of reading psych in kaplan as well but i don't know how feasible it is bc i have a full time job.
my qn is,did u read anything else besides FA and UW and if no,were they adequate for the exam.
So far,one person has told me he did well only with these 2 and everyone else disagrees.
And I read scary stories of ppl who took recently saying even Kaplan was not enough.And I'm like,which means,I'm screwed.
I really want to score above 90 and i'm wondering if I know 98% of FA and UW,if it'll get me across that.
My UW scores currently are in the high 50's and ocasional 60s.
plz advise.

Ram3, congratulations. And it is so good to hear from you that FA and UWorld should be enough for the test. I personally believe that if I can grasp those inside out, I could do fine. Thanks again for sharing your experience. Best of luck with your future adventures.
