i gave my nbme 17 today.. got 213.. all my other nbmes have been above 220 easily.. ve my exam in a week exactly.. whats d deal with 17?? i ve heard it under predicts by 10 to 15.. is it true??
 
sum1 plz reply.. all i wanna do is pass with 200+ score.. plz guys.. shud i even take d exam??
 
u will pass…. you jus need to remain calm…if u look at page 64 of the step 1 experience forum…there was someone whose highest NBME was a 196 and all others were failed with 190 and so fort was able to pass tsp 1 with a 212. its our anxiety thats gets the best of us on this exam and make us not do well….u seen very stressed and worried try to jus relax and read FA while trying to go over ur UW incorrect during this last week. NBME 17 is actually the hardest nbme out now and most pple have been doing worst on it….just try to relax and i know thats very hard but anxiety will cause more damage.
 
@super_mom.. i cudnt thank u enuf.. d score has ruined my confidence.. really appreciate it..
Trust me i know how that feels about your score dropping….it really ruins you confidence the good thing about hrs is that you have been getting over 220s other than NBME 17 which is expected to drop you score since everyone says its more difficult.
 
Got exactly what my nbme 15 projected to. Real thing felt much harder than practice tests. Just keep studying you'll get over 200 99.9% sure.
