Discouraged after Form 2

Man, I've been scoring in the 70s on random blocks of unused Qbank, just took Form 2, felt pretty good about it, and got a 450(206)! I knew I missed a lot of the biochem and molecular, but still expected at least a 500....test is in 10 days.

Have you taken any of the other NBMEs? I was also kind of disappointed at how my Qbank scores didn't quite translate to the NBMEs I took...more molecular and cell bio that I didn't know, as you mentioned! But you still have a little time to review that stuff...I'm planning to take another look through HY Cell and Molecular, Biochem, etc since mine is coming up soon too.

take another one and see what happen.

Have you done NBME4, that is the hardest among 4 forms.

I took Form 1 a couple months ago and got a 380(186). So there's improvement, but I was hoping for more. I've been really focusing on Qbank and FA. Qbank is definitely much easier than these NBME tests - which surprises me because I hear a lot of people say after the real thing that Qbank is harder, yet these NBME tests are supposed to be the most predictive. And Kaplan says 70+ on Qbank predicts high score. Oh well.

Form 4 is hardest? I thought 3 was. I've only done 1 and 2, and was actually thinking of either re-doing 1 or doing 4 before doing 3, so as not to discourage myself completely.

Hi everyone, I come from a D.O. school, and was wondering how I can get a hold of the NBME exams.

Thanks
