I take my step 1 in a couple of weeks. I got a score of ~270 on form 18 today. I am wondering how well it correlates with the real thing, because I got ~250 on form 12 just a couple of days ago. (I got a 3-digit score of 262 on both forms 13 and 17 and 258 on form 15 - all taken within the...

Would it be worth mentioning that I have taken 2 Shelf exams while completing my master's degree? I scored in the 54th percentile on one, and in the 48th percentile on the other, which are both ranked among the medical students nationwide who also took these exams. There isn't anywhere in the...

As some of you already know, the NBME recently instituted some simple formatting additions to Step 1 and reduced the maximum number of questions for each block to 40 (without reducing the 1 hour time limit). This also means that anyone sitting for Step 1 during the phase-in process between May...

Hello all, I have a question about typical NBME/exam performance. I seem to have improved to the point of performing extremely well in all organ systems, pharm, and micro. However, I notice that no matter what I do during the week my biochemistry/mol. and cell bio is low. I have 3 weeks left...

Hello everyone, So i have my step 1 one month from today, and I am thinking about delaying it but not too sure. By the end of this week, I will have gone through UWORLD and will do my first NBME this weekend. I am kind of scared honestly haha. Anyway, my original plan was going to be to do FA...

I just wanted to ask around what would other people do if they were in my shoes.

Alright mates, I have been looking at a lot of threads here discussing the more recent NBMEs (Including the NBME 18 thread i made a while back) but can't find designated threads for the older ones.. Like NBME 3 discussion or something like that.. So I wanna start a thread discussing the older...

Dear All, I am a seasoned USMLE Step 1 and 2CK tutor. I've been tutoring for 3 years now and myself achieved > 255 on Step 1 and > 265 on Step 2CK (Scores are attached at bottom). I am also an IMG and have trained at renowned institutions such as Hopkins, Cornell. In teaching and training over...

If anyone can help it would be really appreciated. I have been stuck for 3 years. I have delayed my step one studying for more than 3 years. I have been on and off with studying because I just could not focus. But now I have finally gotten on the saddle to start my studying again. I have run...

NBME CBSE coming soon in 2 days.... Any last minute tips? Any fellow comrades?

Greetings, I was wondering if someone would please explain to me the NBME (National Board of Medical Examiners) CBSE (Comprehensive Basic Science Examination) that is required for applying to OMFS. Looking on SDN, I realized that some call it NBME while others call it CBSE. Some have posted a...

Hey guys, I'm having my Step 1 in a couple of weeks, so can you tell me which NBME should I use, which ones are the most predictive? Should I also tru UWSA1? Thanks!

Hey! So I have to pass the NBME physio shelf in 6 days. Any advice on what sources to use? I REALLY need to pass and I'm not too strong in physio. So far I've heard: 1-BRS Physio (I'm not a huge fan of the outlines and don't know this will teach me much - it seems better to review) 2- UWorld...

Just wanted to post my exam experience because I have always found it helpful when others did so. Background: I'm a prelim-medicine intern going into PM&R next yr. Step I in the low 200's. Step 2 CK in the high 230's-low 240's. Step 2 CS pass all on the first attempt. Overall definitely not a...

Hi everyone, So there is always the eternal debate about what is predictive of your CK score and which NBME is best etc etc. We all have anecdotal experiences, but as we all know, this can often lead us astray. What I was hoping to do was to determine, with some scientific validity, what is...

anyone take NBME 4 to get a baseline? let me know if you want to talk about some of the concepts, it looks like people aren't openly discussing the NBMEs like they were before..
