Hmm...if u are confortable with your last assessment score, i wouldn't recommend to take another one. Just trust yourself and go for it. Best of luck!

Dude i have been reading your posts for the past week or so. I think you should go take it delaying it more at this time will not improve your score. Good luck mate

I just wished i had read F.A more often , i didnt get to finish reading it and i dnt think i can before exam. I have ADHD and i tend to come to this forum and do those nbme questions. Guys dnt make same mistake as me, start doing F.A from day 1.

we all wish that same feeling, instead of being on this forum dear, trust me, just keep on pushing thru that FA and go and take it, delaying it wont do any good, it can harm us sometimes.. we all feel like we didnt do enough and so forth.. ur scores are strong and ur nbme/uworld tests are excellent, do me a favor and GO TAKE IT!!!

How to advise you when we don't know when did you take last time NBME and how did you score ? But seeing your responses around the forum, seems like you have a good drive ( despite your ADHD ) and your neurons are responding really well to the questions.... and those mnemonics are   . So why are you doubting yourself, what I observed it's pretty common habit to do that, but once you decide, man, you must go for it... no more doubts.

You know i have a feeling i will go take this exam and after the exam i will feel so lost to if i passed or failed. My last nbme was 480 which was 2 months ago. I just went and got some redbulls, I dnt think i am sleeping tonight. I still have to finish respiratory + all of pharm + biochem disease + immuno disease + CT and MRI. And if i have time GI + Cardio

I would not even count that test 2 months ago. I bet ,you would score much higher now, but one day before the exam, me being in your shoes, I don't think I would take another NBME. Rather review as much as you feel is possible, I'm not saying not to do it, because myself usually pushing till the last second before the test. Just make sure you stop drinking any kind of energy drinks, your stress level should be enough to make you trough tomorrow. And make sure you get a good amount of sleep . I can feel your determination trough the net, you can do it.

I want to take nbme but i been doing them on this forum ever since my last one so i cant really take them. But i just wanted to take it just to see what i will get and i know it would have been a little bias but it would have made me feel nice atleast . Ya exam is on wednesday. No redbull for me on tuesday

I see, on Wed than , 1st thought on Tue, well, maybe you could take it, for sure it will lift your spirit up to see higher score biased or not biased. Try to take the one which you did not do here a lot, I heard that the form 2 is a good predictor. Well me off to dream land... Good luck to you !

hey buddy, dont do an nbme, if anything just go thru the questions and get the concepts from them, and do the usmle website 150 q's, bc there will be questions like that on ur exam!!! and keep on that FA, and please, PLEASE GET SLEEP!! i regret staying up and we think if we read wat all we need to, but just relax buddy, i know ur pain we all go thru this.. no one knows how they do after they leave.. it's natural.. ur gonna do so great buddy!! please just focus on ur FA, defnitely read thru pharm and that immuno table in FA immuno chapter (with scid, cgd, etc..) and easy micro stuff, those are 3 easy subjects to boost your score!!!

I dnt have time to do usmle CD, i hope that doesnt affect my score. But if it does and if i dnt do good, u all will die, usmlekiller will be first oh and the reason i said 2 days is because i always thought in my mind that my exam was on 14th but i forgot it was on 15th lol..
