Hi,

If anyone can please answer my question. I took NBME self assessment. It was finished after the 3rd block (of 36 questions each). although on the site it says 5 blocks. When I purchased it it said 5 blocks. Are they really 3 blocks or 5 blocks in this self assessment exam. If it is 5 and mine is finished after 3, is it not an actual score?? I got a bad score and I am worried if it is true or not. exam is on 29th 30th aug. HELP PLEASE!!!!

These are 5 blocks
contact NBME about it

any score >400 is safe as far as MCQ are concerned

Thanks for reply. My score it way too low thats why i am concerned and finally i figured that as my exam was finished after 3 blocks my score is not reflective of my true score and it might be a 3/5 blocks score. I might have done mistake in ending blocks??? what do you think is it possible??

Thanks again for reply.
