I'm 2 days out from my exam... I've done a good job staying relaxed this week but today the panickyness has started to sink in. Anyway here are my nbme scores:

2: 710 (257)
3: 620 (244)
4: 720 (258)

I keep trying to tell myself that with my scores I should be alrite on the exam but I can't get over those nagging fears that I got lucky on the practice tests, like they asked me the few things I knew and left out those that I didn't. Or that I've forgotten a lot these past few days. Or that I'll blank on test day.

Has anyone here ever done well on the nbme's only to blow it on the real thing?? Any suggestions for what to look at the last couple days?

You're gonna do great.

Get lots of sleep, make sure you have a plan for breaks and meals, and spend some time with First Aid without working too hard.

Thanks for your kind words... I just hate this feeling, like there's a million factoids that I either don't know or have forgot...

I totally feel like that too, it's like i know there are things i want to go over again, but I'm just not going to make it, and it makes things scary. Beast is on Tuesday
