Hi Guys,

Would appreciate some advice.

So I have 19 days to my exam. I did NBME 4 today and did UWSA 1 last week.

NMBE 4 = 229 or 530 (IS THIS A GOOD PREDICTOR OF YOUR REAL SCORE or should I do a different NBME?)
UWSA 1 = 238

I see that 3 sections are borderline (Cardiovascular, Anatomy and Embryo and Nervous System).

I would really like a 240+ on the exam. Can someone give me some advice on how to improve in these or what else can I do to improve. I am really worried on how I can improve further. Will really appreciate the advice.

Focus on the areas you mentioned. Read them in First Aid, RR, and UW or whatever you're using to study. At the same time, don't forget that Anatomy and Embryology are relatively low yield, so don't blow other subjects to do these. I think you can boost your score that much in 19 days. Do another NBME in a week to see how you're progressing.

memorize all the anatomy and embryo in FA; go thru cardio in RR path, BRS phys and listen to Goljan audio; read HY neuro and do goljan for neuro. All that should take about 4 days.

how do you listen to all of goljan audio in 4 days PLUS all that other stuff? it would take me atleast 3 days aloen to listen to goljan audio, lol

35 hours of goljan, 24 hours in a day...

I think he was referring to just the Cardio and Neuro lectures.

folks seem to say 6 and 7 are the closest to the real deal, so you can take one of those two.

about g'audio you can play it at 1.5x or get the "g'audio on crack" version

Thanks guys. I will do what I can.

I was also wondering how is NBME 4 is compared to NBME 6/7. I plan to take both NBME 6 in 10 and 15 days respectively.
