i agree with the others SJ.. you have to realize that 440/204 is not an easy task.. it shows that you've been working real hard. And i really dont see that 99 being that too far away.. One advice that i got was.. after nbme, day1 - focus on your weakest and study the strongest too. day2 - second weakest the most and 2nd strongest. you get the idea. I know of few people who have done better in step1 comparatively to their nbme score.. i'll pray that you will be another of them. keep your faith and keep at it.. you're on the right path and dont let anything steer you otherwise. cheers.

hi.....
don't get so put down by theNBME...you can still make it up to get your real exam score in the 90s.... and i'm saying it coz it happened to me.my step2 NBME was 450 and real exam score was 226/93.see what i mean?
good luck
stop worrying about NBME and start working to get your dream score.you can do it.

Although I'm following your tread since you started it , today is 1st time I'm writing here. First I would like to say '' Hello '' to you, and secondly you are doing great job ! Don't get disheartened by some '' who-knows-what-does-it-mean-numbers''. Now is the time, when you must believe in yourself, and work toward the finishing line. No place to waste the time to think about some NBME scores, you are way after passing line, just keep pushing to reach the top.....
About the flight, would not recommend to read anything new, or unfamiliar, better to pick up the book like FA or Medessentials, text easy to follow, or just close the eyes and listen to mp3 player with Kaplan/ Goljan lectures on it. Other option is just take Goljan R&R book along with his lectures on mp3.
Wish you a safe flight !

hey.. sj.. with all the noise.. it could be hard to study off the textbook.. maybe its jus me but i usually prefer silence. I know some are actually ok with it thus go to starbucks, etc. so depending on how you work around the environment should do some good. For my particular style of learning, i would listen to goljan for 3 reasons -
one: Retaining info particularly on the weak subjects
two: noise canceling reasons
three: spend some "quality time" with your brain..

hi Johan, i missed you a lot, i had no electricity, no light, no internet, so, i couldnt wish you earlier, but 204 is not bad, someone told me 190 is passing, so 204 could be mid 80s. just guess.
WISH YOU THE BEST, my dear friend, you will do great!

Hi everyone!,
I'm so exhausted. My plan to study on the plane was not work at all.
Because it was the kids' flight I guess.
They were too loud. I'd better sleep.
I stay at my cousin's house. And I have 11 days left.
So,Let's start now.
Thanks for your supports.

Hey , so did you got toy presents too  from air hostesses since they love to give away toys to baby, children
Just kiddding , it's better kids flight than adult with druken , nuts at night flt experinces we hv in one of the X'mas time , with boxing show too with shouting like a child while rests r sleeping in dark .
Ok, 11 days is good enough for the review , so check my site I link sites u needed as last minute for now , though I bump those link up, it will b easier for u to have all in one with specific pages link. Browse around abit , but the page best are in the link at my site , rest may b good too .
I also jsut browse quick to find best that i recall fr those link so far .
GL , be calm, do quick effective review then Go for it , u acn do it
