Man,
I am very sorry about your sad experience... In fact, I am even scared with it, as my own test experience was quite similar to yours and DrVirgo's ones... I mean I felt quite relaxed on the exam, and did not feel any problems while answering the Qs... So, I am just afraid of getting FAILED in my e-mail in a week or so...
I do not know what recommend to you... Success implies some good luck, which you probably did not have during your test. Try your best while revising your study sources, and make every concept clear to you... All the rest is in G-d's hands...

im sorry abt ur experience hallachi. 60 in UW is a good score and i think u can make it to a gr8score this time. just concentrate on FA and UW. get ur concepts clear and revise the same things again and again rather than going for more books. do UW in a timed manner each time. and aim for nothing short of a 99 and u never know that might be God's plan !

This time when you do UW .. cover up the answers. read the stem and say your answer OUTLOUD. Then scroll down and see if your answer matches theirs. I garantee if you do this your UW score will go down, and it will force you to look at the finer points in the stem as you read the question. Then it will help you to retain these points for when you do take the test again.
good luck

i think u must read FA. reasons its cheap, concise, and high yield.
between kaplan q bank and and UW. i m not sure as i used only UW.
but either of them would be fine. i think UW is much cheaper and as per a few of my friends better too.
when u solve this time use the timed mode not tutor.
make each block similar to the exam one i.e. with 46 questions and do it subject wise.
before starting UW read FA for that subject.
u should do well with that.
let me know how it goes and if u have any doubts.
ya and also remember my advice is not final or must do. neither is someone else's on this forum. u decide whats best for u in the end. what worked for me might not work for everyone. so do what u think will help. but for sure read what u have read again and again rather than reading a new book each time !

HI,
Go over your weak subjects first. Read the things you were confused about. Look at your score report? Were any of the subjects touching the low end line with a star or close to it?? DO those like they are your favorite subjects until you get a good score in NBME.
Take your time if you need to... Make sure you don't skip the stuff you don't like to read. Concentrate on IM the most, but don't ever ignore one subject completely. Master the HY stuff like Cardio, Pulm, GI, Nephro, etc... DO questions, questions, questions... If you had a problem with time, do timed tests -one block at a time...
Good luck!
