skipping an exam is considered a violation. Keep doing questions from kaplan question banks. Time yourself when you do them. Do as many as you can.

As far I know, if youdo not appear on your exam (but I would officially cancel it), it is not considered as an attempt. You lose your money and you can reapply in 14 days.

Can not advice you on your NBME score, have no idea about it. I would recommend UW question bank rather Kaplan. Did you do them? What is your cummulative score on that?

How long have you been preparing? What sources have you been using? What qn bank have you been using? And what's your score in that? Have you done any NBME online? How different/better was your prep the second time around? What are your other circumstances? If you think, with more study time you could prepare better, then cancel the current date and reapply when you can. If you are having time-constraints, and you wish to only pass, then give it all you've got these last few days, and go for it.

All the best.

skipping the exam? why wouldnt u cancel it in advane, if u cancel it up to right before attending the center and pay the fee, IT IS NOT COUNTED AS AN ATTMEPT UNTIL U CLICK START ON EXAM AT PROMTRIC CENTER!! so no, it is not an attempt, stop freaking ppl out!!

if ur not ready, call and cancel today, pay the feel, get ur extension, and reschedule; take the online version, no one knows how to asses the version ur taking, and it wont tell u wat u are weak in and need work, take the online version and get a true assesment.. that is what i would suggest, esp if u dont want to retake, u have taken once before so u have an idea how the exam is already! best of luck!!

U can cancel or leave it alone and skip it . Doesnt matter. Doesnt show up as another attempt.

U can then reapply. and do ur best

Be true to be urself , and u will reach ur goal one day later but u will be there for sure.
