had done the other forms 1-4 and the scores were ok. but my scores for 5 and 6 are low- 460
did anyone find these forms harder like me and do u think I should postpone my test
Feeling devastated thanks in advance

460 is in the 205+ range that will be like a 83+ in two digit score ___________________ As a general rule, the better it felt when you said it, the more trouble it's going to get you into.

i feel that nbme 5 n 6 are more clinical whereas the rest of the forms deal with more basic molecular stuff .5 n 6 ask about the big picture n the rest of the forms r more theory oriented .

thanks 4 ua replies
so far which form do guys say correlates most since there is such a huge difference in my earlier forms and the latter ones
is it still form 2 and 5
I am now confused since the difference in my performance in the two is too wide Its affecting my final prep and this is crucial so that worries me
I appreciate yuor contribution

i think i can totally relate to where u r coming from !! well its up to u u want to further postpone ur exam or not!! nbme 5 n 6 are relatively new forms n not enough people hv tried these forms so there s not much evidence about their correlation with the actual exam !! i got 480 in form 2 and 4 .then 380 in form 5 .i was shattered then!! now after postponing my exam for another 15 days i took nbme 6 n scored 460 . now i m goin to take my exam on july 17th.a part of me still wants to further postpone it but i think it wont do any good to me now .i m tired !! i ve studied i ve done my part now God will help me !! look buddy dont panic i know this is very hard to accept that u hv gone down in nbme s .don t worry !just stay positive !!work hard !!take another nbme !!n go ahead n take ur exam !!
but end of the day it is ur call !!do whatever u feel like!! best of luck!!
