hey skamran, eventually i had taken all the forms, but the forms i took closest to my exam were the new forms, and my score was right with those nbme's.. so i took nbme 5 and got 440, and nbme 6 was 430, and those are equivalent to 204 and 201 respectively so i was smack in the middle!! it's so scary how accurate those can be... 
i had taken forms 1-4 long before and just actually was able to review the notes i taken from them before this exam, i suggest anyone taking this exam do that, it helps a lot i felt!! hey kiddoc, no i didnt have any audios, but i had them on my ck, and let me tell u they are not so hard, i think they're just their to give ppl anxiety issues as i thought for ck but i wished i had more of them because those questions were really easy, just seeing if u know basic stuff and u usually didnt need the clip, most likely they are video clips of physical exam maneuvers or audio clips of heart murmurs or lung sounds i mean wat else could it be, bowel sounds?? wat else do we really auscultate u know?? (that would be gross hearing bowel sounds during my exam, hahahahaa!!!)
i hope to ace step 3 guys, i mean it, im determined to knock that one out of the park, i've always been more clinically inclined, hehehee... let's shoot for the stars people!!

i would do it, along with FA,and nothing else.. im presuming u added ur notes from uworld into u FA so that way u are just reviewing one book rite??? u have like 10 days rite, s do the goljan stuff and FA (2-3 chaps a day) so u an finish it off in 5 days an thn do it again in another 5 days and take u exam buddy, i've also learned putting it off is just delay unless u really know ur gonna cram it in a lot, but we all have our reasons, good luck!

keep on repeating ali!! that's the key, i didnt repeat enough, i regret now, but it's ok!! u can do it for me, hehee.. hit that 90s and above!! just keep on reviewing and reviewing that FA, those are easy points everyone should get, and dont get anxious that makes us lose even the easy points.. so reveiw that goljan highyield stuff and ur FA, i really feel for step 1 that FA is just vital!!! other than that, if u've taken nbme, u'll know if ur in teh 90s range or not. those are sooo accurate!! so take one of those to get a reality check of where u stand and if ur content with ur score on that or not!

hey supra!! ur score is really good, keep it up!! and just learn the concepts, dont get worried and obsessed with the scores about stuff! just keep on repeating!! as for specific subjects like anatomy, histo, embryo, and neuro, i honestly just used FA, nothing else, everything of the easy questions will come out of there, dont worry about the questions that the few, few people will get rite, even if u read the textboks u may or may not gt rite, dont worry about those hard questions, everyone will struggle wit those!!
behaviorial isnt' so tough, i mean i jused common sense really, i didnt study anything specifically, only because i just used to refer back to 'well if it was my patient in the hospital.... what would i do?' and the others i couldn't answer, i just sucked it up and los those, b/c eveyrone else struggled wit those most likely as well, so what? let it go, and get the easy ones rite!! dont waste your time on trying to figure out those hard ones, so just focus on ur FA buddy, that's what i think and feel is ur best interest!!
