Hey Guys,

Just needed some advice. I want to know if I should move my test up from the 22nd to this Wednesday. I'm getting so burnt out that I just don't even feel like studying anymore. Can someone give me some advice. This is how I have been doing and what I have done to prep.

-UWorld, done it twice and even the incorrect questions
-NBME 11 240
-NBME 12 238
-NBME 7 242
-Been through Rx
-Been through Pathology 1000 question review book
-Only 2 passes through FA

I just want a freaking 221-225. I want to be internal med. I still feel scared to change the test date but I feel like I am not studying anymore I am just slacking. Anyone got any good advice?

Please don't yell at me for being "THAT GUY"

i'd move it up. i'm only on a 5 week plan, but i totally get where people are coming from with the burn out thing. these last few days have been really really weak studying, and if it's not active (doing questions) i really doubt how much my mind is retaining at this point.

move it up, get your 240, and enjoy some extra vacation.

Thanks Day man. I would cry with joy if I got a 221 dude. I think I am going to do it.

Take it early. Plus, step 1 is only one part of your application for residency. I hope your test site has an earlier opening! Good luck!

I wouldn't blame you if you did. I'm starting to feel burnt out as well, and I've got until the 30th for my exam. It feels like JUST short enough of a time that if I take a break, I'll be screwing myself, but long enough that I don't know if I can sprint that long.

From what you say, you look like you're well prepared. Just do it. Enjoy your summer.
