COMLEX scheduled in three weeks with USMLE a few days later and I just scored in the 180 on NBME 7. I took COMSAE B a week ago and got under 400. I'm 60% through DIT and my UWorld avg is only 51%. COMBANK and COMQUEST averages are in the 60's. I can't push my tests back because we start rotations in July. What can I do in three weeks to at least just pass? I'll cancel USMLE if I need to but I have to take and pass COMLEX. Please give me anything you got. I'm desperate and I feel so stupid........

Do DIT thoroughly, do the packets, and make sure your forcing yourself to recall the info and write it down on the packet. The repetition is key in my opinon. Keep hitting the qbanks hard but I had to slow down and even stop doing questions when I was doing DIT (just finished it yesterday). After that, keeping reading FA, and maybe pathoma (he is good at helping you form an understanding so you've got to watch the videos) and questions.

Hope that helps man, good luck.

Deep breathe man. Analyze what you are doing wrong and work on your weak points.

I normally don't reply...but don't push you're date back. 3 weeks from you COMLEX is a long time. Keep doing what you're doing. After you finish DIT, consider pathoma...but keep doing questoins. Make sure you are adding information into your bible (First AID). So towards the end you will only have one book to reference from and going through once more will help as well.

You will be fine don't freak out. A lot of people are/were in the same boat as you (includes me), being on SDN doesn't help when they represent 1 percent of the doctor population lol.

Yeah, I know I'm bumping an old thread, but answers like this ....... I just want to smack the person in the hindu thug head lol. I mean come on, OP had 3 weeks left. So you are advising him to do DIT, Pathoma, keep doing questions, write everything into FA and ....... then go through FA!? All in 3 weeks? lol Only DIT alone will take more than 3 weeks.

What I would have advised is to focus on Comlex only, postpone usmle and take it somewhere during rotations. Focus only on comlex, since OP were close to failing score. Read only OMM (Savarese), Micro, Pharm, Neuro from FA (skip everything else) and focus on UW/Combank only 50/50. That's it. In between when he is tired - watch Pathoma videos only on topics that are weak.
Remember you can't learn everything in 3 weeks, you can only work on your weak areas and do questions imho.
