There's not a lot of views on NBME 16 and I'm wondering how accurate the prediction is?

Bump.

I gave 16 today and got 241. I did 15 earlier and it was 247. I worried abt this drop. My exam is in 4 days. Really want to score above 240+ on the real deal. Do you guys think i am in the safe zone?

I personally think you're in a safe zone but it all depends on how you perform on the exam day. Getting anxious and stressed out will definitely hurt you, so try to spend some time learning strategies to combat that, only if that's a problem for you.

From what I've read on these forums, most folks scored 5-7 points higher than form 16 on the real deal. But I think all these scores are a pretty individual thing. I say if you've scored more than 235-240 on 3 consecutive forms, go for it!

Hey Thanks for your response. All of my recent nbmes are above 240 (13,15,16). UWSA 260 and 265. Getting anxious is my biggest problem. I really feel i can score higher but anxiety destroys it all.

Yes, I have some serious anxiety issues too and drinking redbull only seems to make it worse coz I feel my heart pounding so hard so that would just fall outta my chest.
