Dear friends...
I am in a state of shock...

I took nbme 15 and 11 today (back to back to stimulate the real deal) and scored 224ish on both....Does this happen??!

I started my intensive study period with a 230... AND I scored a 247 on last nbme (13) 10 days ago. I have no idea what happened today...I was hoping for a 250 on the real deal but now, I think i will be happy with a 230.

What should i do??! I was going to start by going to through all my incorrects on the nbmes..
Should I postpone my exam? Has similar situations happened to anyone else??

I have watched all of pathoma and gone through UWORLD 2x...
Any advice encouragement will be appreciated..

Thank you

ive heard 11 and 15 are some of the harder ones.. maybe 13 is easier? regardless, from reading on here most people seem to score a couple points above their nbme on the real deal..so if u r shooting for 230 i think ull get it no prob..u might also be burnt out to the point where nothing makes sense anymore ( i know im there) so maybe take the night off before your exam and just relax. all the knowledge is in there..its just ur brain is so tired that its confusing things

Best thing you can do for your score at this point: sleep.

it's probably just a fluke. but make sure you don't get overconfident, it makes one tend to pick a reasonable-sounding distractor. when i try to get all the questions right, i just end up doing worse.
