My last 3 NBME scores have plateaued at around 55-59, whereas my uworld scores around this time have sky rocketed. Im constantly scoring above average, for some reason it isn't translating over to NBME's. I am taking the Free 120 on Friday hopefully I see some improvement. I'm thinking maybe it's test taking error/poor execution. What should I do?

Review your missed questions on the NBME’s, then do targeted question blocks on the weak subjects in UWorld

I just took CBSE with the Dental Anesthesiology applicant crowd. Our testing window was from July 1st- July 14th (today). Not sure when we’ll receive scores back, though. It was a beast of an exam
It wasn’t terrible, but for part of the exam, I felt like it was testing my ability to read English lol. Like I would read stem, know the disease and know what was asked and the answer choices/charts would sometimes have very convoluted wording of things. I think they could make the wording more straightforward without compromising the quality of the exam
yeah I did for some stuff. More so as an adjunct. It felt like a million ethics questions were tested haha
I thought the exam was “fair” in the sense that it did cover all the topics pretty close to the percentages they give on website. Lot of integration though. Like pathology, biochem, and genetics all in one question, and the answer being a 2nd or 3rd order answer. But some gimmes too to balance out the tough questions. If I had to go back, I’d study more GI, personally.

Huh, how is that even possible?
Feeling the same, 3rd and 4th block were rough, answer choices are less clear-cut than I expected.

How did people take it after the 18th?
I know of one school that had ppl take it yesterday but all the surrounding testing centers were full.

I just don't get how that's fair. They can easily get recalls from other people, plus they get an extra week of studying.
What does one school having people take it yesterday even mean? My school (to my knowledge) has no clue I even take cbse plus it was on a saturday...
testing accommodations from what I have heard

For all those asking why not 18.
People have situations in life.
My son has medical procedures on that day which was booked a year ahead and couldn’t be cancelled.
I took it yesterday. Also met people at the center, who did not take the exam on 18 because of no slot availability and accommodation.
For those cry babies: the test was not the same. Did extra week matter, not really.
And for the Gunners: Not everyone has life easy and it’s not all about CBSE. Just Study and say I will retake if I get <70.
Life is beyond CBSE, Results will probably be tomorrow.
Good luck everyone.
