Hi All

I took NBME 2 yesterday before my real studying commenced and scored 300. I am scheduled to take my exam on August 28th-am I screwed? I did below average to average the first 2 years. Has anyone been this low and come out to pass after around 4.5 weeks of studying? Basically what I am looking for is a plan of attack on how to tackle this beast. I plan on utilizing First Aid, Goljan, Qbank, but is there anything else I should be reading? I feel that I am getting overwhelmed with all the sources that I am not sure of what to use and what is worth spending time on. Do I read the 7 volume Kaplan Set, read 3 or 4 out of the BRS series? I would love to get around the mean, but after this NBME score, I just want to pass. Thanks for your time.

I raised my NBME score 140 points in 9 days. Very doable. Just study your ass off.
