Remediating with an NBME Pharm exam that covers GI, Neuro/Psych, Endo and Repro. Need to clear a raw 70%. 1. Will sketchy pharm and uworld be enough? 2. How does one answer pharmacotherapy questions without studying all of the pathologies on the side? It seems like this isnt a pharm test, more...

Hey guys, I’m currently an M2 attending a Caribbean Medical School. At the end of our basic sciences program, the school administers 3 NBME Subject/”Shelf” Exams (Pathology, Pharmacology, Physiology). These 3 exams determine our eligibility to take the NBME CBSCE “COMP” exam which subsequently...

Historically, there's been an "ideal" CBSE score for OMFS applicants to shoot for, whether that was 70/200+ or 80/225+. My question is that, now that the scoring has gone to an equated percent correct, what is the new "ideal" score for a competitive applicant? Is there a conversion chart to...

Hi guys, I have a bit of a time crunch for CBSE. Haven't been as productive as I would have liked for the last few months TBH. Im down to 22 days, and want to review only the most high yield stuff/resources. Would it be best to go thru World or to keep watching and memorizing boards and beyonds...

Hi. Hope everyone is doing well. Has anyone recently taken the Comprehensive Basic Sciences NBME (CBSE)? I was curious if there were any low-yield/wtf questions on the exam. The new NBMEs have a lot of low-yield questions and I was wondering if this is to be expected on the CBSE? I am required...

Hi guys, I am not someone who posts often so I am not sure about the etiquette/how to tag posts, so please forgive me. The question is in the title. Our school is super pushy about being "in the know" of our step studying, which isn't a bad thing, per se, but they way they go about it is...

I'm an IMG and have been studying for Step 1 for almost a year after graduation, but the first half of that year was only 3-4 hours a day. Now my studying is up to 8-10 hours and I've gone over FA twice with Kaplan and UWorld once but a lot of the notes I took for UWorld I don't have the time to...

Hey everyone! So I just took NBME 20 last week (provided by my school) and I was pleasantly surprised by my grade (215). The reason I was surprised is that I have done virtually no review to date, although I have taken every block very seriously so far, scoring in the top 10 percent or of my...

Hey everyone, Last week, my dad’s bowel perforated and he was septic the night before my fam med shelf. I was kind of out of it and took it anyways which in retrospect was very dumb. It felt like a total blur taking it. I ended up failing by a few points. Clinically, I did really well and our...

Hi all, New member here. Currently entering D3 year. I took my CBSE in Feb, scored a 65, my class rank is among the top 5% in the class. What are my chances (considering a 3.1 undergrad GPA) for 4 or 6 year programs? Another question I have is, how do they calculate your undergrad GPA, is it...

Hi guys. I wanted to make a thread talking only about diagram questions from the nbmes. We could briefly describe the question and then write down what all the letters mean. Is there a post about this already? I couldn't find any. eg. Nbme 19. There's a diagram asking about at which letter...

How smart of an idea is it to take an NBME self assessment test before starting preparation to determine where you stand? Considering money is not a problem, of course. Thanks in anticipation.

I was wondering if anyone can offer some advice for Physiology NBME shelf. I heard from multiple people that the exam is a brutal guessing game. What is the best source of questions to practice from that is similar to the shelf exam? Should I focus more on diagrams? Would you guys recommend...

So long story short, I’ve taken 4 NBME’s (13,15,16,19) through my dedicated study (I’m 6 weeks in) and have scored between 170-190. Got a 220 on uworld1 when I was about 76% with my First pass on uworld I finished UW with a 56% I have step 1 scheduled in 3 weeks and I was thinking about...

Hey you guys I'm 12 days out from my exam and I'm trying to figure out whether it would be worth it to take the Kaplan Free 150 diagnostic test or the one DIT put out, or if it is a waste of time. I'm doing NBME 19 tomorrow even though I know I'll probably be disappointed in the score because of...
