Hey guys,

I am taking my exam in 2 weeks and wanted to know what should I focus on the most for last 2 weeks. I have used first Aid as my main source and gone through it multiple times. I am not looking to get >240s. I only want to pass this test as I am already in residency for OMS. I have taken 3 NBME (6, 7, 13) and have barely passed those (low 200, high 190s). I was wondering what would u do if you are just looking to pass the exam.

Also, Uworld Percentage is 56% for all 2000 questions combined

I would really appreciate your help and am scared out of my mind about this test!

Thanks!

If you've already done all of UWorld I would get another question bank and do those questions and annotate into FA (if you have time) or just try to remember the answers (but READ every answer carefully -- because you may not have time). I like USMLERx since it predicted by score to 1 point (they give a +/-20 pt spread just so you're aware that my experience is probably not typical). Do these questions in test mode.

Depending on the method you used to study, you may be due for your final pass through material; the final overview right before the exam. This may be good for another 10-20 pts on the final exam which will put you around a 220 - the national average.

Just to be sure, did you annotate ALL of the UWorld answers into FA? Even the questions you got right? This is KEY.

I did annotate most of them. I also went through DIT, which put everything together. Yea I am planning to go through FA one more time.

Thanks for ure input! Hope I pass this exam!
