Just wanted to get some advice on what I have been doing and plan on doing with 3 1/2 weeks left. I've completed 61% of qbank and I have a 65% average overall. I plan on completing it and redoing all the wrong ones. I have been listening to Goljan in the morning for about 3 lectures and looking through the rapid review with the audio. I then read the Rapid review for about an hour and a half. Then I'll hit my FA for about 2 hours. I finish the night off with 50-60 questions of Qbank.

I am planning on starting to do more Pharm and Micro on a daily basis straight from FA.

I have been studying now for about 2 months but about 4 hours a day and very relaxed. I planned on cranking it up with 4 weeks left. I took the NBME 1 before I started studying at all and scored a 182 so that scared me a little but that was without anywork at all. Since then I have covered so much.

I really am just looking to pass and hopefully break 200. Do you guys think I am going about it the right way with four weeks left?

Thanks
 
you'll do great. isn't 182 passing already? and those things are pretty good predictors if you do a search on here. my real score was +1 from the practice exam...but realize that was 4 days before the real exam. so you'll definitely improve in 4 weeks. best of luck. 👍

Do you plan to take another NBME? If so, how close to your exam? I have a few weeks left as well and got a 210 on my one and only NBME a week ago. I fear if I take another one I might psyche myself out :scared:
I have 300 q's left on QBANK and plan to repeat the incorrect. I also plan to focus on the 3 P's (Pharm,Phys,Path) until one week before when I intergrate everything via FA and MORE Q's! I've studied every subject as it sounds like you have---so it's all about review (with utmost focus) until D-Day!!! Hey, at least you know you'll pass, which rocks! 😀

Thanks for the replies guys!! Yeah I took the NBME 1 a while ago before I did any studying. I am going to take the second one with 2 weeks left to see where I am at. After that I am going to focus purely on my weaknesses and doing the Goljan 100 page HY, FA, Pharm and some Micro HY. Probably also do a bunch of questions here and there.

Good luck to you guys!!
