I have roughly a month left until I take the NBDE. To be honest, I haven't done any real studying yet. I did very poorly (low 40's) on my diagnostic test, and I guessed on like 80% of the questions, meaning I don't know anything. I feel very worried about the real test. Is 1 month enough to study?
I only have dental decks (2015-2016) and released exams. Should I be ok with doing just those?
Here's my plan for 1 month:
1) Study dental anatomy VERY thoroughly, using decks
2) Study gross anatomy (focusing on head and neck), using decks - I never really learned gross anatomy properly, and it's my least favorite subject, so this section is going to be very difficult for me. Should I use a supplement, or are decks ok?
3) Do practice questions/released exams
And then if I have some time left over:
4) Passively review some pathology using decks
5) SKIP biochem entirely (or maybe skim over my own biochem notes for a few hours)
Do you think this is a good plan? Please give me some constructive criticism/advice. I'm starting to feel very stressed out. One month seems like such a short time.
