Hey Everyone,

MS2 here. My school recently had us take CBSE and I'm wondering how to interpret the results. We have yet to cover MSK, Endo and Repro, so I'm wondering how useful these results are. After we finish those subjects, we have 8 weeks of dedicated study time. Scored a borderline 185-195 equivalent if that's helpful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
 
You did better than I did my first 2 NBME tests during dedicated so I'd say you're in pretty good shape. Just make sure you keep taking NBMEs during dedicated and have a study plan and you should be fine.
 
Ask your school to give the trends during previous years (what people got on cbse compared to what they go on the real exam). They are pretty predictive. You will likely rise to 235 if you continue this trend. If you step up your game, anything is possible.
