I just took NBME 16 and I was not too happy with my score. Based on the performance profile, however, I actually did pretty well in every section except for Renal, which I bombed. My test is in a week, and I'm wondering how accurate the NBME performance profiles are in predicting performance in individual categories. What worries me is that I took NBME 15 a couple weeks ago, and it actually told me that Renal was one of my stronger subjects. So I guess I'm trying to figure out whether I should dedicate this next week to just studying Renal? Does anybody have any thoughts on this?
