Hey guys,

I have just taken my third NBME today (NBME 16), and it was a drop off from the score I got last week on NBME 15, and my test is in two weeks. I'm shocked about what happened, and wondering if I need to change my study plans, and maybe on what might have went wrong.

I was memorizing off of First Aid for the past two weeks (just have 4 more days to study First Aid) and doing one UWorld question bank a day (started off 3 weeks ago around 50-60%. Now, I'm at 75-80%). I have Pathoma, which I used throughout the school year, but haven't really studied through it yet through my dedicated, except to see if there is a concept in First Aid I did not quite get (along with using Wikipedia/Google).

Here are my scores:

2 weeks ago: NBME 13: 209
1 week ago: NBME 15: 225
Today: NBME 16: 211

I was hoping for a bit more improvement in my score today (around low 230s) because I have been improving in my UWorld score, and in my first week of going through First Aid, my score seem to have improved between NBME 13 and 15.

I really appreciate some help with this and with the hope that I will be able to improve a lot more than this.

Thanks guys!
