Hey everyone! I'm 2 blocks into med school. We have professor made tests and an end of block NBME final.
I am doing slightly below average on professor exams (~80%) when the average is usually mid-upper 80's. However, we have had 2 NBME exams and I have done really well (95%+ on both where the class average is ~90%).
Is this a decent sign going forward? I feel like I am learning the material well but always get a little tripped up on the professor-made exams (also tend to test a decent amount of minutiae). Although I would like to do better in classes, my primary goal is to learn this material well for Step. Any advice/similar experiences would be appreciated. Thanks ya'll!
