Alright, exam in 2 weeks, cannot push back.

NBME3 was hard, scored 150.

I must, must score over 200 on this exam, I plan to go all out with FA, goljan audio, and UW these next 2 weeks.

Anyone have any advice on how to tackle these next two weeks, what to do for most gains, and is goljan audio worth it at this point?

Please, any help would be good, not stressing, just concerned. HELP!

I know I'm behind the 8-ball, but I can work like no other these 2 weeks.

I scored well over 200 on NBME form 1, and I failed Step 1 by a few points. Reconsider.

here's what I did during the last two weeks and it seemed to work for me. Your study style may be different so take what i say w. the grain of salt...though I used those exact resources that you mentioned, and I am damn glad that I did:

-Finished taking notes from Goljan audio onto Rapid Review...then read Rapid Review during the last week (with an emphasis on what he covers in his book and his pearls that I jotted down from audio). This was the best thing I could have done b/c by reading, I was reinforcing what I learned from the audio, while also covering clinically relevant immuno, micro, and physio that he addresses in his book (though not totally covered in audio). By reading path towards the end it was fresh in my mind.

-Read first aid (twice), but skipped over the path parts, b/c I felt that it was a waste of time to read FA path, when I was reading higher yield, and what I think to be path that is presented more clearly in rapid review. This also gave the chance to focus on the biochem, behav, micro, pharm, and physio covered in first aid.

-finished UW
*note...don't freak out if you can't finish UW. However, it was a gem in my studies, and in order for me to finish it up in the end, I found myself completing tests in tutor mode during the last couple days. I am glad I did it this way, b/c I didn't psych myself out if I got a crappy score- it allowed my to focus on learning the material, and UW scores are irrelevant at this point...

Best of luck!
